Melt chocolate and blend into butter/sweetener mixture when cooled. Stir in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time. With electric mixer, beat 5 MINUTES after adding each egg (total 10 minutes). This is an important step, so set your timer. Add nuts if desired. Pour into pre-baked low-carb pie crust (if you are using a crust), or into buttered pie plate without crust. Chill 1-2 hours minimum. Top with whipped cream if desired, and sprinkle nuts over the top. Best if chilled overnight. Total carbs for filling: 12 gm. Carbs per serving (filling only --1/8 pie) = 1.5 gm. NOTES: If you double the recipe, add eggs 2 at a time and beat 7 minutes each time (total 14 minutes). If you prefer, use a 12-cup cupcake tin and distribute the filling evenly into the 12 cups. Each cup of filling will be 1 carb. |
