Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 lemon, for zest/juice
- 1 cup sweetener
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 cups fresh (or frozen, thawed) cranberries
- Optional - 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute, to sprinkle over the pie after it has baked
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, eggs, 1 cup of sweetener, and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on MEDIUM-HIGH for 3 minutes or until smooth. Add almond flour, vanilla, remaining lemon zest and juice, and salt. Beat an additional 2 minutes. Stir the cranberries gently into the batter.
- Chill the entire pie for an additional 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (for ease in handling) and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F. Bake 20-35 more minutes or until the top is slightly brown and the center is 160°F.
- Cool completely on a wire rack; garnish with an optional sprinkling of brown sugar or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- This keto cranberry custard pie is not overly sweet which I love. However, if you want a sweeter pie, simply add an additional 1/4 cup of sweetener.
