Step 1 – Prepare the crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and salt. Press evenly into your baking dish and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely.

Step 2 – Make the cream cheese layer:
Beat softened cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Spread over the cooled crust.

Step 3 – Whip up the pudding:
Whisk the pudding mix and cold almond milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Pour evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 4 – Add the whipped topping:
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Use the back of a spoon to create soft swirls — it’s part of the magic!

Step 5 – Chill and serve:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!). Garnish with chocolate curls or nuts just before serving.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Let each layer chill before adding the next to prevent mixing.
• Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
• Don’t rush the chill time — the layers need to set for that signature silky slice.
• Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean servings.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
• Make-ahead: You can prepare the crust and cream cheese layers a day ahead, then finish with pudding and topping later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of pudding mix works best?
Stick to instant sugar-free pudding mixes (like chocolate or vanilla) for the creamiest result.

Can I make this ahead of time?
