👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Crust (5 minutes)
- Mix almond flour, erythritol, and vanilla in a bowl.
- Pour melted butter over the mix. Stir until it looks like wet sand.
- Press into a pie dish. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Pro Tip: Use a glass to press the crust flat!
2. Whip the Filling (10 minutes)
- Beat cream cheese and erythritol until smooth.
- Add sour cream and lemon juice. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mix.
“What if my filling is lumpy?” Let the cream cheese soften first!
3. Assemble & Chill (4 hours)
- Spread filling over the crust.
- Refrigerate for 4+ hours (overnight is best!).
