Keto Boston Cream Pie

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.
