INGREDIENTS:
Cookie Crust:
- 2 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ⅓ cup erythritol (granular or confectioners will work fine)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup superfine almond flour
Frosting:
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup Confectioners Erythritol or to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Topping:
- 1 cup strawberries washed and cut into quarters
- ¾ cup blueberries washed
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a large cookie sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, greased with butter or non stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and erythritol using an electric mixer, until well blended and creamy. Next, add in the egg and mix again.
Once the egg is well incorporated, add the almond flour and mix until smooth and creamy. The batter will be a thinner than a typical cookie dough – resembling frosting or a thick cake batter.
Using a rubber spatula, scrape the dough into a pile in the center of the prepared cookie sheet (on top of the greased parchment). Grease a second piece of parchment and place it on top of the dough.
Using your hands, begin forming the dough into a 12″ circle. Do your best to ensure that it is a uniform depth. Remove the top layer of parchment and bake the dough in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on it as it can scorch quickly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the pan or adding toppings. The crust will be pretty soft, almost cake like, when you remove it from the oven – but it should firm up as it cools.
Frosting:
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the butter, cream cheese, vanilla and erythritol. Once they are well combined, add the heavy cream. Mix on high until the mixture has thickened and nearly doubled in size.
Once the cookie crust has completely cooled, carefully transfer it to your serving dish and evenly top with the frosting and sliced fruit.
