Keto chocolate silk coffin pie with almond crust and a smooth, set mousse. Shaped in a loaf pan to look like a coffin. Simple steps, low carb, and great for Halloween.
Crust
1¾ cups almond flour
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup granular erythritol or allulose
¼ tsp fine salt
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tsp strong coffee (optional)
Filling
6 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
10 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
¾ cup powdered erythritol or allulose
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
¾ cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
Gelatin
2 tsp powdered gelatin
3 tbsp cold water
Topping (optional)
Crushed keto chocolate cookies or crust crumbs
Whipped cream (½ cup cream + 1 tbsp powdered sweetener)
Sugar-free chocolate shavings
Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment, with overhang.
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix almond flour, cocoa, sweetener, and salt. Stir in melted butter, vanilla, and coffee. Press into pan.
Bake 9–11 minutes. Cool fully.
Bloom gelatin: sprinkle over 3 tbsp cold water. Let sit 5 minutes.
Melt chocolate until smooth. Let cool to warm.
Whip cream to medium-firm peaks; chill the bowl.
Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt; beat until fluffy.
Mix in warm melted chocolate until even.
Melt the bloomed gelatin (microwave 10–12 seconds or set over hot water). With mixer on low, stream in gelatin.
Fold in whipped cream gently.
Spread filling over crust. Smooth the top.
Chill at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Lift out, trim the top edges to a coffin shape if you like.
Add crumbs, whipped “ghosts,” or shavings. Slice with a warm knife.
For cleaner cuts, chill 30 minutes in the freezer before slicing.
Allulose gives the smoothest finish. Erythritol can feel a bit cool on the tongue.
No almond flour? Use ¾ cup coconut flour and add 2 tbsp more butter; bake 1–2 minutes less.
Dairy-free option: use refined coconut oil, dairy-free cream cheese, and coconut cream (chilled solids).
Taste the filling before chilling. Adjust sweetness by 1–2 tsp powdered sweetener if needed.
Keep leftovers covered in the fridge up to 5 days. Freeze slices up to 1 month.
