Low-Carb Chocolate Pie Crust

Recipe Tips

To make this recipe nut-free, use an equivalent amount of ground sunflower seeds. Do not use coconut flour as it won't be a suitable alternative.

To make this recipe dairy-free, swap the butter for palm shortening which is made from palm oil. Beware that the standard practice for harvesting palm trees to produce palm oil destroys tropical forests and habitats of endangered species! Always opt for sustainably sourced palm oil and palm shortening such as Tropical Traditions.

To make this recipe egg-free, use 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum or glucomannan powder, plus replace the egg with flax egg or chia egg (1 flax or chia egg = 1 tbsp flax meal or ground chia seeds + 3 tbsp water).

The low-carb sweetener in this recipe can be omitted. Instead of Erythritol you can use Swerve or other Erythritol-based sweetener. Allulose might not be the most suitable option as it would impact the texture and make the crust somewhat soft and less crunchy.

Instead of one large pie crust, you can even make 6 to 8 mini pie crusts by using the same recipe. Use the same baking temperature and time, unless you make the crust thinner in which case you'll need to reduce the baking time.
