Low carb sugar free chocolate cream pie

I wanted to try a take on a milk chocolate pie instead of the dark chocolate pie I made here

So this is my take on chocolate cream pie aka milk chocolate
Crust:
1 cup of almond flour
1 tsp of sweetener ( I used splenda essentials)
2 tbls butter

Filling:
1 1/2 cups of coconut milk
1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 cup of erythritol
1/4 cup of splenda essentials (opt)
2 squares of 85% Lindt candy
1 tsp of vanilla
2 tbls of butter
______________________________________________

Heat your oven to 350, put your butter in your pie pan (I use glass), and let it melt, once it melts, pull it out and add your almond flour and sweetener, mix and press into pie pan, bake until browned.

In a medium sauce pan add your two milk's, eggs, and sweeteners and cocoa.  Cream those ingredients together and cook on medium high heat till boiling, boil for a few minutes, you won't really see it get thick here, but once you have let it come to a good boil then remove from fire and add your chocolate lindt, vanilla, and butter.  Set it aside and let it cool before pouring your filling into the crust.  Once you have poured in your filling put pie in fridge to finish cooling and setting.

Low Carb sugar free pumpkin pie

I love this Pie!!!!!!!

I got the recipe from low carb diets about.com and then just tweaked it a bit

Crust
1 cup of chopped pecans
2 tbls of butter
a few drops of ez-sweetz

Pie filling
1 can of 15 oz pumpkin
3/4 of heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice
dash of salt
1/2 cup of erythritol
20 drops of ez-sweetz
2 eggs

Put oven on 425 (very important)
place your pie pan ( I use glass), in the oven with the butter till it melts, take out of the oven and add your pecan pieces and sweetener and mix together with a spoon and then press down into the pan to make your crust, then pour your mixed pie filling into the pie and turn the oven down to 375 and bake for 15 mins, then turn it down to 300 and finish baking for 30 - 40 minutes.

so the only difference in my pie and the one on low carb diets about.com is the way the crust is done, the sweetener used and the spices (kinda) I just used the pumpkin spice mix, and I just use heavy whipping cream.  Also I only whisk my pie filling together with a wire whisk.

I tried just using ez-sweetz and it doesn't turn out as good as using the erythritol.

Warning - this pie is very addicting ........
