This recipe uses almond flour and a touch of sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit to create a buttery, crumbly crust that perfectly complements the creamy, tart filling. The key lime filling is made with fresh key lime juice, cream cheese, heavy cream, and more sweetener for a smooth, decadent texture.
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
* 1 ½ cups almond flour
* ¼ cup sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
* 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
* Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
* 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
* ½ cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
* ½ cup sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Lime zest for garnish
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, salt, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sweetener until smooth and creamy. Add the key lime juice and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Gradually add the heavy cream, beating until the filling is smooth and thick.
3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the key lime filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with lime zest. Slice and enjoy!
