Ingredients: For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Lime slices or zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for the crust. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish, using your fingers or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered erythritol, fresh lime juice, lime zest, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the filling mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Once chilled, remove the pie from the refrigerator and garnish with whipped cream, lime slices, or zest, if desired.
  10. Slice and serve the Heavenly Keto Key Lime Pie chilled, and enjoy the refreshing burst of citrus flavor with every bite!
