Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Lightly grease a pie pan with butter.
2
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, vanilla and salt. Use your fingers to press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of the pan.
3
Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown. Let it cool completely before adding the filling.
4
Roughly chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan (it must not boil) and pour it over the chocolate.
5
Let it sit for 2 minutes, then gently stir with a spatula from the center outward until you get a shiny, smooth mixture. Stir in the room-temperature butter, erythritol and vanilla.
6
Pour the chocolate cream over the cooled crust. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) so the filling can fully set.
