Keto Pie Crust – just because your eating Keto doesn’t mean you can’t have pie! This Keto pie recipe is made from almond flour and coconut flour.
KETO PIE CRUST
Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten about my Keto friends. You all deserve pie just like the next person. My husband made this pie crust 10 times at least this week just to get it right.
THE DOUGH
The secret to any good pie crust is using cold butter so that when it bakes you get those air pockets making it flaky. This is easiest in a food processor. Literally takes 5 minutes. You can also cut it in hand with a pastry cutter.
Roll it between two sheets of parchment. Keto crusts are stickier. then flip it and form it into a pie crust.
UNFILLED VS FILLED
If you’re baking your crust unfilled it’s very simple. If you are baking it filled with a filling that needs baked you’ll most likely have to bake it longer than 10-12 minutes. Low-carb grains such as almond flour and coconut flour can burn more easily even if covered by foil. The solution is to cover the crust with filling as much as you can so that it’s not exposed.
