Keto Smurfentaart – Blueberries

"Smurfentaart" is a Belgian dessert pie. Traditionally the pie has a layer of vanilla custard, apricot jam, and whipped cream. It is then fully covered with white chocolate shavings. I've recreated this pie—keto-friendly.

Preparation

Instructions

Preparation method for the pie base

  1. Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease a pie pan lined with parchment paper. I used a 9inch (24cm) metal pie pan with removable bottom. 
  2. Melt the butter.
  3. In a bowl, add all the ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until a batter is formed. 
  4. Press the batter evenly in the pie pan using the spatula or your hands. 
  5. Bake for 7 minutes on 160°C and set aside.

Preparation method for the custard

  1. Place the gelatin leaf in a bowl with cold water.
  2. In a heat resistant bowl whisk all ingredients except the butter and gelatin leaf.
  3. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler/au bain-marie) on low heat. Whisk the mixture constantly for 7 minutes. It should never reach boiling point.
  4. Remove from the heat and keep stirring. Add the chunks of butter and soaked gelatin leaf (squeeze the water out first).
  5. Let it cool down for a bit while you keep stirring.
  6. Pour the custard on the pie crust. Place a saran wrap (plastic wrap) over the custard and place it in the fridge. For the best result, allow the custard to chill for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.

Preparation method for whipped cream topping

  1. In a bowl whisk cream cheese, monk fruit sweetener and vanilla until soft.
  2. Gently add the heavy whipping cream. Keep whisking until soft peaks form. 
  3. Place in a piping bag and set in the fridge to chill. Or add fruit of choice before going to step 4.
  4. Pipe the whipped cream on the fruit of choice and spread evenly. 

Preparation method for fruit of choice

  1. Cover the custard with blueberries.

Preparation method for shaved chocolate

  1. Shave the chocolate with a grater or food processor. 
  2. Top the pie with shaved chocolate before serving.
