Low Carb Chocolate Pots De Creme Pie Recipe

As you know I am doing Bake-a-thon event this December, where a group of bloggers post baked dishes thrice a week. This is the second week and we are on to the sixth dish of the month. I have been using coconut flour in my daily diet nearly for a year. At first the recipes were not so great but after some experience, I am getting better. When I was listing out recipes for this event, my first list was full of bakes for Sruti. But then I couldn’t feed her all the maida based dishes for a whole month. So I went and changed the list consisting mostly of low carb dishes which I made for myself. I know Sruti is disappointed, but I won’t mind this time.

I wanted to try recipes with coconut flour and listed out some from other blogs. And for some, I came up with ideas. Today’s recipe is one such brilliant idea of mine even if I say so! I book marked a tart / pie base with coconut flour and wanted to do a dessert with it. While thinking about the filling to be included, I decided upon a chocolate filling, as I bought a pack of 99% dark chocolate recently. Then I remembered the recently made No Bake Pots De Creme which we totally loved. Then I went in search of recipes which bake the pots de creme and I found that the same mix can be baked. So I combined both the crust recipe and the pots de creme recipe to make this pie. I didn’t know how it would turn out and things could go seriously wrong while being inventive. I kept my fingers crossed.

When the crust came out of the oven, it looked fine and I was happy. Then the filling went in and I baked it. When it came out of the oven, it was slightly jiggly which was perfect. And then I refrigerated the pie and the next day I was so curious. Due to refrigeration, the pie crust was stuck to the tin. But still I didn’t panic. I rubbed the sides of the tin with towel until the pies left the tin. And I successfully removed the whole pie without damaging it! When I sliced a wedge, I was on the moon. The pots de creme has set beautifully and the crust was crisp. This was such a huge relief. And it tasted amazing. I left a small piece for Sruti as I didn’t want to serve a whole slice because of the sugar substitutes added. She loved it so much. I need to make it another time, but with normal sugar for her.
