Steps to Create
1. Make the Filling
- Add the blueberries, allulose, lemon juice, and vanilla to a pan. Stir gently to coat the berries and distribute the sweetener evenly.
- Cook for 6–7 minutes until thick and jammy. The berries should burst and release their juices, reducing into a glossy mixture that slowly mounds on a spoon. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening.
- Cool completely. Allowing the filling to cool helps it firm slightly, making it easier to enclose inside the dough without leaking.
2. Make the Dough
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Starting with a fully heated oven ensures the pie bombs set quickly and develop a light golden color.
- Mix the almond flour, allulose, melted butter, egg, vanilla, and salt. Combine until a soft, cohesive dough forms, with no dry patches of flour remaining. The dough should feel pliable yet sturdy enough to shape.
- Knead briefly until smooth. Almond flour dough benefits from gentle kneading to help the ingredients bind without becoming oily.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls, keeping them uniform so they bake evenly. If the dough becomes sticky, lightly dampen your hands to help with shaping.
3. Fill & Shape
- Flatten each dough ball into a small disc, thick enough to hold the filling without tearing but thin enough to wrap around it neatly.
- Add a spoon of blueberry filling to the center. Avoid overfilling to keep the dough from splitting as you seal it.
- Fold and pinch tightly into a sealed ball. Work slowly around the edges to fully enclose the filling, reinforcing any thin spots to prevent leaks during baking.
4. Bake
