Gluten Free Flaky Pie Crust

Suggested Piece: 2 Saladmaster Pie Plates

Ingredients

3 c. almond flour, finely ground

1/2 c. monk fruit sweetener

6 tbsp. erythritol, powdered

1/2 tsp. table salt

10 tbsp. unsalted butter, cold & cubed

2 large egg white

2 tsp. water

Directions

Into a bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment add all dry ingredients; mix. Add butter to bowl and continue to mix with dry ingredients until pea size balls form. In a small bowl, whisk egg whites with water. Drizzle egg whites on top of crust mixture and mix until dough comes together. Remove from stand, divide evenly in half, shaping into 2 disc shapes. Chill dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Dough should be firm, but still soft enough to roll easily. Place dough between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Starting in the center, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Place dough in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm. Dough needs to be chilled so it does not fall apart when plastic wrap is peeled off. Peel off top layer of plastic. Center crust dough inside pie plate, dough side down, fitting it to the shape of the plate. Remove top layer of plastic wrap. Gently fold extra dough under at the edges and form decorative crust using fingers or fork. Prick holes all over the bottom of the pie crust dough with a fork (docking). Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until sides and bottom are golden. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Cool completely before filling.

Notes

If making a pie where the filling will be baked and has a lot of moisture, like custard or pumpkin, only partially bake the pie crust for 7-8 minutes until the bottom is flaky but still pale. Pie crusts for baked fillings such as fruit pies generally do not require blind baking the crust.

4 large eggs

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Rum extract to taste

Add almond milk, heavy cream, powdered monk fruit, and beaten egg yolks to MP5, and place on medium-low heat (200F). Whisk almost constantly for 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to 160F for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should not be hot enough to simmer. Turn off the heat. Add vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and whisk until spices are well-mixed (they will not completely dissolve). Let stand to cool, and then cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight to chill.

For serving:

When the eggnog is chilled, use fine mesh or cheesecloth to strain the liquid for a smoother drink. Pour into individual glasses, and top with additional nutmeg and garnish with cinnamon sticks. Optionally for a foamier drink: Use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add as much of the foamy egg whites as desired by stirring with the chilled eggnog, and serve. Optionally for an alcoholic drink: Add desired alcohol to each serving glass, and pour the chilled eggnog over it, stirring a bit.
