Just in time for Thanksgiving is The USA!
My biggest weakness is still having a sweet treat after dinner. That’s were
this Best Low Carb Key Lime Pie recipe comes into play, tangy, delicious, and creamy is sure to be a family favorite! With a delicious low carb graham cracker crust filled with an incredibly creamy filling!
Regular limes make an exceptional Key lime pie if you can’t find find key limes. I do not recommend you use bottled lime juice. The real lime juice from the lime makes a perfect filling.
The fact that we can so easily create sugar-free versions of beloved desserts like key lime pie, and have them taste so good and so much like the real thing, is just amazing.
So lets get started and I will show you how to make it!
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
6 oz. cream cheese softened
1 cup Hellman’s Mayonnaise
3/4 cup POWDERED erythritol/monk fruit combination. ( or your choice of sweetener)
1 1/2 teaspoons Knox unflavored gelatin.
1 tablespoon key lime zest
Graham Wafer Crust
Filling
Microwave the lime juice for 30 seconds. Add the gelatin and sweetener to dissolved. Stir well, this will take a few minutes.
In a bowl cream the cream cheese till smooth, add the mayonnaise, beat well with know lumps.
Add in the lime juice/sweetener/gelatin/zest, Mix well.
Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Chill for a minimum of 2-3 hours until set.
I add the sweetener to the hot lime juice to help dissolve the sugar, if you don’t, your filling will have the graining texture which we try to illuminate (mined you I don’t mined it:).
Keep in the refrigerator.
Options
You can add slices of lime, whipping cream to the top of the pie but this will change your macro’s.
Enjoy!
