Keto Strawberry Chocolate Mini Pies Recipe

FILLING

• Cut tops and stems off of Strawberries, then dice them and set aside.
• In a small bowl mix together 1/2 Tablespoon of Xanthan Gum and 1/4 Cup of water, then set aside.
• In a Large Sauce Pan over Medium-Low Heat add the 12 Ounces of Strawberries, 3 Tablespoons of Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener, 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, and a pinch of Salt, and 1/4 Cup of Water. Heat and stir gently until all of the Monkfruit Sweetener is dissolved.
• Add the Xanthan Gum mixture from earlier, and whisk into the Strawberry filling over Medium-Low Heat.
• Using the whisk or another instrument, smoosh the Strawberries to desired chunkiness and continue to cook for about 5 more minutes, or until it thickens.
• Remove the Strawberry Pie Filling from the heat and set aside until needed.

PIE CRUST

• Pre-heat your Oven to 350*F.
• Use a grater to finely shave 1 Ounce of Lily’s Dark Chocolate Bar, and set aside.
• In a Large Mixing Bowl combine 2 & 1/2 Cups of Almond Flour, 1 Cup Coconut Flour, 2 Teaspoons Xanthan Gum, 3 Tablespoons of Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener, and 1/2
• Teaspoon of Salt.
• Cut up 1 Cup of Grass-Fed Butter into small pats, and add to the dry mixture. Fold the butter in continually until the crust becomes clumpy.
• Slowly pour 1/2 Cup of Cold Water into the mixture, a little at a time while stirring or folding the dough. Stop once you have reached the desired doughy consistency.
• Lightly grease a 12-count Muffin Pan, and fill each cavity with about 2 Tablespoons of dough mixture. Press the dough around the bottom and the edges firmly to create space for your Pie Filling (but don’t fill them just yet).
• Bake the Crusts at 350*F for about 7-8 Minutes, then remove from the oven.
• Fill each Pie Crust to the top, and then bake them again for about another 10-15 minutes. Wait until the edges of the crust are slightly brown, but be careful not to burn them.
• Remove the Pie from the oven, and allow to cool for a few minutes, and then top with the shaved Dark Chocolate.
