Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1/2 cup
• Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon
• Granulated erythritol - 2 tablespoons
• Unsalted butter - 3 tablespoons, melted
• Cream cheese - 120 grams, softened
• Sour cream - 1/4 cup

• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, and melted butter. Mix until a crumbly dough is formed.
3. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of a small pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, key lime juice, lime zest, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
6. Bake the pie for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
