Method
 

How to Make Dragon Fruit Pie Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together the dragon fruit powder, almond flour, sweetener, salt, butter or avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Use a stand mixer or food processor for 1-2 minutes, adjusting with water as necessary to form a soft dough.
  2. Divide the dough into two halves. Press one half firmly into the fluted edges of your pie pan, while shaping the other half for the bottom, ensuring the crust walls stand upright and are perpendicular.
  3. Prick the bottom of the crust gently with a fork to prevent puffing up during baking. Wrap the edges with aluminum foil to keep that vibrant color intact while it cooks.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for about 15 minutes or blind bake for approximately 10 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding your chosen filling.
