Cuisine: Low Carb
Serves: 10 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered erythritol
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing with coconut oil or using parchment paper for easy removal.
- For the crust, combine almond flour and melted coconut oil in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until a crumbly, consistent texture is formed.
- Press the almond flour mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish, creating a compact crust layer.
- Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Add powdered erythritol and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Puree fresh strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth and consistent.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even color and distribution.
- Pour the strawberry cheesecake filling over the chilled almond flour crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely set.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or additional almond flour crumbles if desired before serving.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Strawberry Selection: Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Crust Consistency: Press the almond flour crust firmly and evenly to create a stable base that won't crumble.
- Freezing Technique: Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and maintain optimal texture.
- Serving Hack: Let the pie sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect slice-able consistency.
- Optional Garnish: Enhance presentation with fresh strawberry slices or a sprinkle of toasted almond slivers.
- Storage Tip: This pie can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, making it perfect for meal prep!
