  • 5 large egg yolks

  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 15 18 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, top with whipped heavy cream.
