# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The silky coffee filling tastes like indulgence but fits perfectly into your low-carb lifestyle without the sugar crash
- You get all the satisfaction of a creamy coffeehouse dessert while staying in ketosis
02 -
- Gelatin that's not fully melted will create weird little pockets in your filling, so take the time to get it completely liquid before stirring it in
- The pie needs those full two hours to set, but it's even better if you can make it the night before and let all the flavors really get to know each other
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend together seamlessly, while cold ones create tiny lumps that no amount of mixing can fix
- Fold the whipped cream in with a figure-eight motion, which distributes it evenly without knocking out all the air you just whipped in
