Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Filling

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh key lime or regular lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • Thin lime slices for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Stir the almond flour, granulated sweetener, salt and melted butter until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Bake the crust 10 to 12 minutes, until golden at the edges. Cool 10 minutes and lower the oven to 325°F.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup powdered sweetener until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then the 1/2 cup cream.
  4. On low speed, mix in the lime juice and zest. The filling will thicken slightly as the juice goes in.
  5. Pour into the crust and bake 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are set and the center wobbles slightly when you nudge the plate.
  6. Cool on a rack 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours, until cold and firm.
  7. Before serving, whip the cold cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener to soft peaks. Spread or pipe over the pie and garnish with lime slices.
Tip: Bottled key lime juice works in a pinch, but fresh limes give a brighter flavor. You need about 4 regular limes or 15 to 20 key limes.
Dad jokeMy key lime pie was nervous before the party, so I told it to relax. It was just feeling a little sour.
