Pie Ingredients
Makes 3 single-serving pies
-
1 honey-salted or original salted Carnivore Bar
-
3 Egglife cinnamon or plain wraps (or homemade egg white wraps)
-
2 tablespoons thick honey
-
⅔ cup cream cheese
-
2 teaspoons cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons protein powder of choice (such as Equip Foods Vanilla Prime Protein)
Crumble Topping
-
1 melted honey salted or original salted Carnivore Bar
-
2 tablespoons goat’s milk powder
-
1 tablespoon protein powder, coconut flour, or ground pork rinds
-
Optional sea salt & cinnamon
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, gently mash all ingredients (except the wraps) with a fork until the Carnivore Bar pieces are well incorporated into the cream cheese. For a lighter, whipped texture, use a hand mixer.
-
Lay out three egg wraps and scoop 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each. Spread into a small square in the middle of each wrap, leaving room around the edges. Set aside any extra filling for later.
-
Fold the wraps: Bring the top of the wrap over the filling, then fold in each side, and finally fold the bottom over as you flip the wrap. Place the folded side on a lined baking sheet to seal the pie while baking.
-
Melt the second Carnivore Bar for the crumble topping. Brush each hand pie with the melted bar to create a crisp golden crust.
-
Bake or air fry at 375°F for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Mix the remaining melted Carnivore Bar in a small bowl with the crumble ingredients until small crumbles form. Sprinkle over the baked hand pies, then drizzle with the extra filling.
-
Finish with a dusting of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy warm!
