Keto Fresh Strawberry Pie
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 Keto-friendly pie crust (almond flour based), pre-baked and cooled 🥧
- 4-5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled (keep small ones whole, slice the large ones!) 🍓
- ¾ cup Water 💧
- ½ cup Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener 🍬
- 3 tbsp Sugar-free strawberry gelatin powder (for that perfect set and color!) 🔴
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch substitute (like xanthan gum) if needed for extra thickness 🥣
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Berries: Wash and hull your fresh strawberries. Leave the beautiful, bright red berries whole to get that iconic piled-high look! 🍓🚿🥇
- Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine water, sweetener, and your thickening agent. Bring to a boil, then whisk in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved. 🌪️🔥💎
- Cool Slightly: Let the glaze cool for about 10–15 minutes until it starts to thicken but is still pourable. ⏲️📉✨
- Assemble the Masterpiece: Arrange your fresh strawberries tightly into the pre-baked keto crust. Start from the outside and work your way in! 🥧📐👑
- The Glossy Pour: Evenly pour the strawberry glaze over the berries, ensuring every single strawberry is coated in that shiny, red finish as seen in the photo! 🥣🌊🍓
- Chill to Set: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until the glaze is firm and the pie is easy to slice. ❄️⏲️🙌
- Serve: Top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and enjoy your guilt-free dessert! 🍽️😋☁️✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Gloss” Secret: As shown in the photo, the secret to that professional bakery shine is ensuring your glaze is thick enough to coat the berries rather than just running to the bottom! 🍓🛡️💎
- The “Crust” Hack: For an extra-sturdy base, brush the inside of your pre-baked crust with a little melted chocolate or egg wash before adding the berries to prevent it from getting soggy! 🥧🎯✅
