Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla.
-
Press mixture firmly into a greased 8-inch cake pan or pie dish.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
-
Let cool completely.
This crust stays tender and slightly nutty—no refined flour needed.
Step 2: Make the Filling
-
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
-
Add powdered sweetener and vanilla; mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
-
Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
-
Stir in shredded coconut and berries (if using).
The result should be light, airy, and creamy—almost mousse-like.
Step 3: Assemble
-
Spread filling evenly over cooled crust.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Chill for at least 3–4 hours (overnight is even better).
Chilling helps the cake set into that perfect, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch
Before serving:
-
Top with a swirl of whipped cream.
-
Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
