Ingredients

Crust

Custard Layer

Whipped Topping

Instructions

Making Our Crust

  • Combine almond flour and melted butter, add sweetener, stir to form crust dough.
  • Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool thoroughly.

Making Our Custard Filling

  • Place the heavy cream into a saucepan over low heat.
  • Add the vanillia bean (or vanilla extract) to the cream and allow to infuse for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and sweetener and whisk until the mixture is pale. Add caramel flavor if desired.
  • Check the temperature of the cream, if the cream is cool enough for you to put your finger in it then it is ready to use. *If not allow to sit for a little longer to cool.
  • Pour ¼ of the cream mixture into the egg yolk and whisk to combine, add another ¼ of the cream and finally all of the cream. This method is called tempering and allows the eggs to slowly warm up without cooking.
  • Pour the eggs and cream back into the saucepan and back over low heat.
  • Using a silicone spatula, continually stir the mixture until it begins to thicken. The mixture is thick enough when it coats the spatula without dripping off.
  • Pour the custard into a clean mixing bowl and continue to stir as it cools for 5 minutes. Add your chopped macadamia nuts. To cool quicker, place the bowl of pudding into larger bowl filled with ice cubes.
  • Place a sheet of cling film over the custard and press it onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Place the custard in the fridge for 1-2 hours(we recommend at minimum 2 hours) to cool completely before completing assembly.
  • Add chilled custard layer to pie shell, and gently spread out filling your pie.

Making Our Whipped Cream Layer

  • Beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with sweetener to taste (I used two tablespoons.
  • spread evenly over pie. Let chill and set for 1-2 hours (overnight is best). This gives the pie a chance to solidify (set up).
  • Decorate with additional nuts if desired. Chill. Serves 10.
