Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup keto granular sweetener (e.g., Erythritol/Monk Fruit blend)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for crust)
- 2 cups fine blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (minimum 85% cacao)
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (double cream), cold
- 1/2 cup keto powdered sweetener (e.g., Erythritol/Monk Fruit blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the 12-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to assist with removal.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and granular keto sweetener on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a thick dough forms. Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips by hand.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This prevents the dough from spreading excessively during baking.
- Unwrap the chilled dough and press it evenly into the prepared pizza pan, creating a slight raised rim around the edges, much like a regular pizza crust.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown and the center is set. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the cookie crust to cool completely (about 45 minutes).
- Using the chilled bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until completely smooth, light, and lump-free.
- Gently fold the reserved whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Do not overmix, or it will deflate.
- Spread the Cloud Cream frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
- Arrange the fresh raspberries and blueberries artfully over the cream. Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds across the top.
- For the cleanest slices, refrigerate the assembled Keto Cookie Pizza for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
