Low Carb Key Lime Pie With Low Carb Crust! Recipe

Name: Low Carb Key Lime Pie With Low Carb Crust!
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 (3 ounce) box sugar-free lime gelatin (I only use 1/2); 1 (8 ounce) box neufchatel cheese (softened); 1 lime, juice and zest of; Crust; 1 cup unblanched sliced almonds; 4 tablespoons butter, melted; 2 g Splenda sugar substitute (or 2 individual packets); Optional; 2 tablespoons sugar-free Cool Whip; 1 lime (to garnish)

Servings: persons

1
Start with the crust.
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
3
In a food processor add the cup of raw almonds, pulse until it is the size of sand granules (not too fine!).
4
Add in the 2 packets of Splenda and the 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
5
Pulse until it is well mixed and a workable paste.
6
Spray a small, square baking dish (I actually prefer a metal pan as it has the tendency to crisp the nuts better) with cooking spray and with a spatula, add in the mixture and pat until evenly spread.
7
Put in oven for 10-12 minutes; broil on top for another 1-2 minutes. Be careful that it doesn't burn; it should be a toasted brown.
8
Once done, take out of oven and put in the freezer.
9
For the filling:
10
In a food processor, add 1/2 package of lime Jell-O; follow the directions on the box and then pulse in the food processor until well mixed.
11
Add in 1 juice of lime as well as some zest from the peel.
12
Add in the softened Neufchatel cheese.
13
Pulse until well-mixed, should be a thick liquid mixture.
14
Add the filling on to your crust and smooth until even.
15
I prefer to put it back into the freezer for about 1 hour and then either enjoy as a frozen treat or take it out for a few minutes to soften, but you can also just put it in the fridge for a few hours to set.
16
Garnish with sliced lime and sugar-free cool whip and serve!
17
(You can also substitute the lime Jell-O for lemon Jell-O for a cheesecake variation or chocolate Jell-O pudding for a chocolate mousse pie--minus the lime, of course).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
