Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Crust:
      • In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and crumbly.

    • Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
    • Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the Filling:
      • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk or heavy cream, erythritol, and salt. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved and the mixture is heated through.
      • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the warm coconut milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to temper them.
      • Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining coconut milk mixture.
      • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.

    • Remove from heat and stir in the key lime juice and lime zest until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Pie:
    • Pour the lime filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake the pie for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
    • Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with whipped cream or lime slices if desired.
    • Slice and enjoy your keto key lime pie!
