Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tbsp sugar-free syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your crust bakes evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the almond flour mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Make sure it is evenly distributed and packed down tightly.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the keto candied bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 slices of bacon until they are crispy.
- Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of sugar-free syrup and cook for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and coat it with the syrup. Let it cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of peanut butter, and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
- Once the crust has cooled, pour the peanut butter and cocoa mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chop the candied bacon into small pieces and sprinkle it generously over the top of the pie.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to allow it to set properly.
- Once set, slice the pie into 8 servings and serve chilled. Enjoy your Easy Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie with Keto Candied Bacon!
