How to Make Buttery (And Flakey) Keto Pie Crust
Being on a keto diet doesn’t necessarily mean you need to give up the good stuff. With just a few tweaks of a recipe, you can easily prepare a low-carb counterpart that fits the keto guidelines and that’s exactly what I did with this keto pie crust. Check it out:
- Grease. Using some non-stick cooking spray or butter, grease your pan.
- Make the crust mixture. Combine your butter, sweetener, almond flour and salt.
- Press the dough into the pan. Press the dough mixture onto the bottom of your 9-inch pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Refrigerate. This will help solidify the crust.
- Bake. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
How to Make Keto Strawberry Cream Pie
How does one resist a good strawberry cream pie, especially if it is low-carb and keto-friendly? The answer is: you don’t. The strawberry cream filling is ridiculously easy, as you’ll see below:
- Heat gelatin mixture. Dissolve your gelatin in water in a small saucepan. Set aside.
- Prepare your strawberry powder. Using a coffee grinder or blender, grind the freeze-dried strawberries into powder. Set aside.
- Prepare the rest of the cream filling. Combine the cream cheese and sweetener. Then add the lemon juice and strawberry mixture.
- Whip. Lastly, add the gelatin mixture and heavy cream and beat everything together until whipped and airy.
- Pour. Pour the strawberry cream filling into the pan with the prepared crust.
- Refrigerate. Refrigerate the strawberry cream pie overnight.
- Top with whipped cream. Optional: top with sliced strawberries.
Are Strawberries Keto-friendly?
Yes, strawberries are keto-friendly in moderation. Bear in mind that fresh strawberries are the best as they contain the original water content and no added sugars. Sugar-glazed strawberries on the other hand, are an example of a non-keto friendly variant.
Per 1 cup of strawberries (sliced): 12.7 grams of carbs (3.3 grams dietary fiber) = 9.4 grams net carbs.
