Instructions:
For the Almond Flour Crust:

Assembling the Mini Pies:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
- Divide the chilled dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and press it into a greased mini pie tin, shaping it into a crust.
- Fill each crust with the berry mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
- Allow the mini pies to cool before removing them from the tins.
- Serve your Best Keto Mixed Berry and Almond Mini Pies with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of keto-friendly vanilla ice cream.
