Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup powdered xylitol
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
Key Lime Filling
- 3 avocados (about 14 oz)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp freshly grated key lime zest
- 1/3 cup fresh key lime juice
- 1/2 cup powdered xylitol
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Lightly toast almond flour in a skillet or pan over medium heat, until fully golden and fragrant (2-4 minutes). This is very important taste-wise.
- Transfer toasted almond flour to a medium bowl, and mix in sweetener, cinnamon and salt. Add in butter, mix until thoroughly combined and press into an 8 or 9-inch pie dish.
- Allow to come to room temperature and freeze while you make the pie filling.
- Blend all the filling ingredients, starting with the lower amounts, together using an immersion blender (or high speed blender) until creamy smooth.
- Taste for sweetness, tanginess, seasoning and adjust accordingly. Key limes can vary a lot in taste, so start with the lower amount and add to taste.
- Spread the key lime filling over the graham crust lined pie and refrigerate preferably overnight the key lime kick becomes so much better. But if in a pickle you can always pop it in the freezer for an hour or so.
- Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days and frozen for a month or two. If you like, serve the pie topped with a bit of whipped cream and slices of lime for additional garnish.
Notes
The key lime is smaller and seedier than that of the regular lime that is found in the grocery store. Plus it’s higher in acidity giving this luscious pie it’s distinct flavor. Use fresh key limes and plenty of zest for the best flavor.
Great option for garnishing would be to use whipped coconut cream. To make it you will need to chill a can of coconut milk in the fridge for at least 8 hours without shaking it and then whip up the thick cream only (not the water). It doesn’t work with all coconut milk brands though, so you would need to experiment with different ones.
