Method
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, stir the almond flour, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar substitute until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together when pressed.
- Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even layer. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute, then stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat until fluffy and homogenous.
- Gently fold the sugar-free whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
Assembly
- Pour the filling into the chilled almond crust, spread it evenly, and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours until the filling is fully set and firm.
- Slice and serve chilled, optionally topping with extra whipped topping and lemon zest.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling. A minimum chill time of 4 hours is recommended for the pie to set properly.
