Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup erythritol sweetener
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, cut into rounds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown erythritol
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol, and sea salt.
- Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture holds together like damp sand.
- Firmly press this mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
- While the crust is cooling, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced bananas and sprinkle with brown erythritol. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently, until the bananas are beautifully caramelized.
- Remove from heat and let them cool for a bit.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks.
- Gradually mix in the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold in the cooled caramelized bananas, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Spoon the banana cream mixture into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For an extra touch, consider adding a dash of cinnamon to the bananas while they cook.
- You can swap out the bananas for your favorite berries for a refreshing variation.
