Mile High Grain-Free Chocolate Meringue Pie

Servings 1 pie

Ingredients

for the crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2/3 cup arrowroot starch
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unhydrogenated shortenening such as Spectrum
  • 1/4 cup water

for the chocolate layer:

  • 9 ounces dark chocolate chips 69% cacao or higher
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 pint original coconut milk coffee creamer
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

for meringue:

  • 8 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

For the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, sugar, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter or two knives until combined. Stir in water and lemon rind to form a dough.
  • Roll out to a 12-inch circle on a surface lightly coated with arrowroot starch.
  • Carefully transfer dough to a 9½-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Line bottom and sides of pan with dough.
  • Place tart pan on a baking sheet. Place a piece of parchment or aluminum foil on top of the dough. Fill inside of lined dough with pie weights, rice, dried beans, or sugar. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until crust is cooked.
  • Remove weighted paper/foil. Allow crust to cool.

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • Place dark chocolate chips in a large bowl.
  • Combine egg yolks and sugar in a medium saucepan; stir with a wire whisk until pale yellow.
  • Add coconut milk coffee creamer, vanilla, and salt; stir until combined.
  • Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 175° when measured with an instant read kitchen thermometer (about 10 minutes).
  • Pour mixture through a sieve into bowl of dark chocolate. Discard any bits in the sieve. Allow mixture to sit for 2-3 minutes to melt chocolate.
  • Stir mixture well to combine with chocolate.
  • Pour chocolate into cooled crust. Chill for 4 hours or overnight until cool and set.

For the Meringue:

  • Beat egg whites in a bowl over a pan of simmering water for 3 minutes. Slowly add sugar, beating whites over simmering water until stiff peaks form, or about 6 minutes.

To combine:

  • Pile meringue high on top of chocolate. Torch with a kitchen torch to brown meringue.
