Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Bittersweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Stir to blend.

Step 3

Add melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the almond flour mixture and stir until well mixed and dough forms.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom of the crust a few times with a fork.

Step 5

Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and allow to cool completely.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and 0.5 cup unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. Let it cool slightly.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, beat granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 8

Gently fold in melted chocolate mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the beaten egg mixture until combined.

Step 9

Sift in 0.25 cup of cocoa powder and mix until just combined.

Step 10

Pour the filling into the cooled almond crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.

Step 13

Before serving, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and serve a dollop on each piece of pie if desired.
