Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
For the filling:
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
Make the crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, combine almond flour, erythritol, and salt.
- Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg and vanilla powder, pulsing just until dough comes together.
- Press dough into a 9-inch pie dish, forming an even crust up the sides.
- Prick bottom with a fork and bake for 12 minutes until lightly golden.
Prepare the filling
- While crust bakes, combine rhubarb, erythritol, lemon juice, and spices in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until rhubarb softens.
- Stir in chia seeds and let mixture thicken for 2 minutes.
- Pour filling into pre-baked crust.
Bake the pie
- Return pie to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely before slicing to allow filling to set.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 tsp of orange zest to the filling.
- If your rhubarb is very tart, increase erythritol by 1-2 tbsp.
- Let pie cool completely before slicing – this helps prevent a runny filling.
- Store leftovers covered in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Try serving with whipped coconut cream for extra indulgence.
