For the Chocolate Filling:

▢ 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
▢ ¾ cup whipping cream
▢ 4 tablespoons sour cream
▢ 3 ounces dark chocolate melted
▢ ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ ½ cup erythritol

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

▢ 2 tablespoons Swerve powdered sweetener
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cold butter. Mix well until the butter is fully incorporated.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture becomes crumbly and dough-like.
Press and flatten the dough evenly into the prepared pie dish.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the crust to cool completely.

Make the Chocolate Filling

In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, whipping cream, sour cream, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, erythritol, and vanilla extract.
Blend with an electric mixer for 3–4 minutes or until the filling becomes light and fluffy.
Spread the chocolate filling evenly into the cooled pie crust.
Refrigerate for 4–6 hours, or until fully set.

Make the Whipped Cream Topping

In a clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sweetener on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired.
