we have two lemon meringue pies because we have two different crusts.  This one is made with almond flour, the other one is a little different because it's basically a cookie dough that we use as a pie crust

Ingredients
  

  • Lemon Curd
  • 5 large Egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup Hot water
  • 2 tsp Unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum
  • 3/4 cup Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest
  • 1 cup Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • Meringue:
  • 5 large Egg whites reserved from the lemon filling
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • Pie Crust:
  • Two Crust Choices
  • Shortbread Cookie Dough Pie Crust See Below
  • Almond Flour Pie Crust See Below

Instructions
 

  • LEMON FILLING:
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and set aside. Save the egg whites for the meringue.
  • In another small bowl whisk the water, gelatin, and xanthan gum. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, Powdered Sugar, salt, and whisked egg yolks. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Slowly whisk in the gelatin mixture. Whisk constantly for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add in the butter and stir until melted.
  • Remove from heat and pour the lemon filling into the cooled pie crust. Place the pie in the fridge overnight or for at least 5-6 hours.
  • KETO MERINGUE:
  • Preheat the oven to Broil.
  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add Powdered sugar and continue mixing on high speed until the meringue is glossy and smooth.
  • Place small dollops of the meringue on top of the lemon filling. Smooth over the top, making swirls with the back of a spoon.
  • Place the keto lemon meringue pie under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown. Alternately, to achieve perfectly browned edges, you can use a blow torch.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Serve cold.

Servings 1 pie crust

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cup Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Allulose Blend *see notes below about amounts; omit for savory crust
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt or 1/2 tsp for savory crust
  • 1/4 cup Butter measured solid, then melted; substitute ghee or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1 large Egg or ~2 tbsp additional butter, ghee, or coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9 in (23 cm) round pie pan with parchment paper, or grease well.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, and sea salt.
  • Stir in the melted butter and egg, until well combined. (If using vanilla, stir that into the melted butter before adding to the dry ingredients.) The “dough” will be dry and crumbly. Just keep mixing, pressing and stirring, until it’s uniform and there is no almond flour powder left. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor to mix it all together.)
  • Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. You can flute the edges of desired; if it crumbles when doing this, just press it back together. Carefully poke holes in the surface using a fork to prevent bubbling.
  • Bake for 6-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden — the time can vary depending on your pan, your oven, and the sweetener you use (or don’t use).
  • Add fillings only after pre-baking. If your fillings will require baking again, you’ll want to parbake the crust for the shorter end of the time spectrum, around 6-8 minutes, and use a pie shield or foil to cover the edges when baking again with filling.

Notes

Serving size: 1 slice, or 1/12 of entire recipe
Sweetener note: The amount of sweetener that is best will vary based on the filling. Use 1/4 cup for a sweet crust, 3 tablespoons for a very lightly sweet crust (if your filling is super sweet), up to 1/2 cup for a very sweet crust (if you like a sweeter crust or your filling is tart), OR omit sweetener for savory crust.
