Boston cream pie is a classic dessert that originated in the United States. However, traditional Boston cream pie contains a lot of sugar and carbs, making it unsuitable for those following a ketogenic diet. This keto version of Boston cream pie, on the other hand, is low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making it the perfect dessert for those following a keto diet. This recipe is not only delicious but also easy to make, so let’s get started.

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup erythritol
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup erythritol
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
