How to Make Low Carb Key Lime Pie With Low Carb Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, sweetener, and salt until a crumbly mixture forms. Press firmly into the bottom of a 6-inch pie dish.
  2. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. While the crust cools, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together key lime juice, lime zest, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the key lime mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream (optional) and lime zest before serving.
