Use this pie crust to make my Chocolate Silk Pie .
Want a Savory or not so sweet crust?
Simply omit the stevia and vanilla. A small amount of sweetener is still needed but just taste the crust and adjust to your liking. Perfect for pumpkin pie!
My next pie will be using this crust as part of a baked pie like apple or cherry.

Follow the recipe and watch the video and you will be creating the perfect grain-free pie crust.
- 1-3/4 cup blanched almond flour or sunflower seed flour for nut-free (approximately 5.75 oz. by weight)
- 3 tbsp. coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp. grain-free baking powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. Stevia Select Stevia or granular sweetener to choice, to taste (omit for savory crust)
- 2 tbsp. of finely ground organic coconut sugar (optional)
- 1 egg white (approximately 2 tbsp.)
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract (omit for savory crust)
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted*
*If using unsalted butter, add 1/8 tsp. of salt to dry ingredients
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In medium bowl, add the dry ingredients. Blend well with a whisk. Add the remaining ingredients and blend with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Taste for sweetness and adjust if needed.
Place dough on parchment paper and top with a piece of plastic wrap. Roll out dough with rolling pin to uniform thickness and until the dough is about 11 inches in diameter (check out my video for some of my tricks and techniques). Remove the plastic wrap and invert the pie crust into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Carefully remove the parchment paper (see video).
Bake for around 15 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown (check the oven around 12 minutes). Remove from oven and allow crust to come to room temperature before filling.
Can be made 1-2 days in advance. Cover tightly and store in refrigerator.
