Keto Almond-Coconut Pie Crust

This easy-to-make crust is the perfect base for any cream pie or other keto dessert recipe. It comes together quickly in a food processor, can be made a day or two ahead, freezes well, and is easily customized by using different nuts. Hazelnuts, walnuts, or macadamia nuts are great options. Just make sure to recalculate the macros with any changes.

Some emerging research suggests that erythritol might increase the risk of blood clots, but more studies are needed to confirm this potential link. Whether you decide to use erythritol or not, remember that all sweeteners should be consumed in moderation, and your keto diet should primarily focus on nutritious whole foods. Learn more: Erythritol Explored: Weighing the Pros and Cons.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the almonds, coconut flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, and salt. Pulse until the almonds are the texture of coarse cornmeal, and there are still visible bits of the almonds, 10 to 12 long pulses. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture starts to clump, 8 to 10 pulses. Sprinkle the cold water over the mixture and pulse a few more times until combined.
  • Remove the dough to a 9-inch pie dish. Press the crust evenly and outward, working it up the sides of the dish until it’s evenly distributed on the bottom and sides of the dish and is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place the pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet, loosely tent it with aluminum foil, then bake on the middle rack until dry, set, and golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
