Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Dragon Fruit Pie Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, dragon fruit powder, granulated sweetener, and a pinch of salt until well incorporated.
  2. Incorporate melted butter or neutral oil and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring until a crumbly texture forms. Slowly add water as needed.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a clean surface, shape it into a ball, and divide into two equal halves.
  4. Press one dough half into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it adheres well to create a firm and visually appealing crust.
  5. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust and preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) while preparing.
  6. Bake the crust for 15 minutes until golden, keeping an eye on it to retain the vibrant magenta color.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
