Challenge Approved

Serves: 6 

Ingredients:

Crust:

1 1/2 cups almond flour

1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, softened

2 Tbsp. monk fruit or erythritol sweetener

1/4 tsp. salt

Filling:

1 lb. fresh strawberries, sliced

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup monk fruit or erythritol sweetener

2 Tbsp. arrowroot or xanthan gum

1 tsp. lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. For the crust, stir together almond flour, butter, sweetener, and salt until a dough forms. Press dough evenly into a 9-inch pie plate. Prick all over with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

For the filling, place 1 cup of the sliced strawberries in a saucepan with the water, sweetener, and thickener. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and remaining sliced strawberries. Pour filling into pre-baked pie crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
