Ingredients

Base

250 g (1 cup) butter grass-fed, softened
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp stevia or monk fruit blend sweetener
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
1 tsp orange zest preferably powdered
8 medium egg yolks free-range
1 tbsp baking soda
2 tbsp psyllium husk
2 tbsp flaxseed flour or any seed flour
11 tbsp sparkling mineral water

Middle part

12 whole strawberries sliced, organic
1 tsp lemon zest powdered
1 tbsp stevia or monk fruit blend sweetener

Meringue topping

8 medium egg whites
2 tbsp lemon juice organic
3 tbsp coconut flakes
4 tbsp stevia or monk fruit blend sweetener

Instructions

Have the eggs and butter at room temperature for several hours before starting. Separate the yolks from egg whites.
Place butter, sweetener, salt, Ceylon cinnamon, orange zest and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer beat the butter until it gets creamy and fluffy. In another bowl mix the egg yolks with baking soda and slowly add this to the butter mixture. Keep mixing.
Now start adding sparkling mineral water spoon by spoon until you get the texture and consistency in between dough and cake batter.
Grease 20x30 cm (12x8 inch) pan (approximately) with some butter and pour in the batter. Bake it for 20 minutes at 170ºC (340ºF)
Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and add lemon juice. beat them until soft peak appears. Now add the sweetener and beat at highest speed.
Slice the strawberries and add sweetener and lemon zest. When the base is baked, spread the strawberries all over. (I wanted to keep the carbs low, but you can add more strawberries)
When the firm peak appears, your meringue topping is ready. Using a spatula, mix in 3 tbsp of coconut flakes and do it gently.
Now spread the meringue on top of the strawberry layer and decorate it with a fork (see the video). Return the pie to the oven. bake for 45 minutes at 120ºC (250ºF)

Notes

You can use just half of the ingredients and make the pie in a standard round pie pan. This recipe makes easily 20 slices which is the reason I got these wonderful macros.
