Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar-free cherry pie filling
- NUT CRUST:
- 1/2 cup almond flour or chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup raw coconut
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Splenda
- WHIPPED TOPPING:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Splenda, or liquid equivalent
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Splenda
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Combine almond flour, coconut, flax meal, butter, and Splenda together. Press into 9-inch pie pan or spring-form pan. Use a piece of plastic wrap to prevent sticking to your hands. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Set aside to allow to cool.
-
In a stand mixer, combine heavy cream, Splenda, and vanilla extract. Beat until soft peaks form and no liquid is in the bottom of the bowl.
-
In your stand mixer, cream cream cheese and Splenda together on medium speed. Fold in half whipped topping, but be careful not to over-mix and lose the fluffiness of the whipped topping. Chill until nut crust is ready.
-
On top of cooled crust, spread the cream cheese-whipped topping mixture out to the edges. Make as even as possible. Spread sugar free cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture.
-
Pipe the remaining whipped topping along the outside of the pie pan.
