Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag HighKey brownie bites (alternatively, use 1½ cups almond flour mixed with 3 tbsp cocoa powder)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup unsweetened almond or hemp milk
- ⅓ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 3 large egg yolks
- ¼ tsp glucomannan (or xanthan gum)
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Pulse HighKey brownie bites in a food processor to form fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse until the mixture holds together.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and press 1½ tablespoons of crust mixture into each cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and almond milk, heating over medium-low until bubbles form.
- Whisk powdered sweetener, egg yolks, and glucomannan in another bowl. Pour ¼ cup of hot cream into this, whisking constantly, then return to the saucepan, whisking continuously.
- Add cocoa powder, cooking until thick. Remove from heat, whisk in butter and vanilla.
- Cool filling for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon into crusts.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Before serving, whip ⅓ cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener. Top pies with whipped cream.
Notes
- The key to a silky filling is patient cooking over medium-low heat.
- These pies can be made up to 3 days in advance.
- Utilize different flavorings for variety, such as adding sea salt or peppermint extract.
- For best results, add fresh whipped cream just before serving.
