Instructions

1. Prepare the crust:
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, blend together almond flour, erythritol, butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and pulse until a dough forms.
   Grease a 9-inch non-stick round cake pan. Press the dough into the base and sides to form a crust. Bake for 10–15 minutes. Let cool completely.
2. Make the filling:
   In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, erythritol, cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, sour cream, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Spread the mixture evenly into the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
3. Prepare the topping:
   Whip the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
