USE A WATER BATH FOR SUGAR-FREE LEMON PIE
The first time I made this keto lemon pie, I didn't use a water bath to bake and that was a mistake. The entire pie cooked beautifully around the edges, but the center was mush and uncooked.
So the next time I made this, I made sure it went into a water bath so it would be perfectly cooked without the outer edges of the pie getting dried out.
Since the8 inch pie dishdidn't fit into a 9 by 13 baking dish, I opted for aturkey roasting panand it fit perfectly. Lesson here is, don't forgo that step of a water bath, it's important!
Some simple fresh raspberries, blueberries or blackberries would be just enough to top this custard pie. If you want to get a little more decadent add somesugar free whipped cream.
You can also top this custard pie with adairy free whipped creamif you prefer.

But you certainly don't need a special holiday to enjoy this delicious lemon pie, it's fantastic all through the year, weekend or weeknight. This delicious treat is a winner and a very easy recipe!
No coconut flavor is evident using the coconut flour, but if you really are opposed to using it, try some almond flour instead. You will need double the amount usingfine almond flourto replace coconut flour.
If you don't have lemon stevia you can useplain steviaor evenvanilla stevia. If you use plain stevia or vanilla I would recommend adding some lemon extract to compensate since the lemon stevia adds more lemon flavor.
If you don't use stevia at all, you can use whatever sugar substitute sweetener you prefer that would equal about ½ -1 cup depending on how sweet you prefer your delicious pie. Here is mySweetener Conversion Chartto help you find the right amount of other low-carb sweeteners to use!
I would not suggest swapping out the heavy cream, but if you do need it dairy free, possibly usingcoconutmilk from the can would work, although I've not tried it.
