ingredients: (makes 8 pieces)
crust-
1.5 cups almond meal/flour (18 carbs)
3 tablespoons melted butter
9 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener or 3 tablespoons xylitol
pie filling-
2.5 cups heavy cream
6 egg yolks (.6 carbs per yolk = around 3.5 carbs)
18 drops FAT TO SKINNY Zero Sweetener or 6 tablespoons xylitol
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream (4 carbs)
3/4 cup key lime juice
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
Crust:
Preheat oven to 350. Melt the butter and mix almond meal and sweetener in until crumbly. Pat into 9" pan with fingertips or a spoon. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the crust is beginning to brown. After 8 minutes, check every minute or so, because once it starts to brown it goes quickly.
'Sweetened Condensed Milk':
Whisk heavy cream, egg yolks, vanilla, and sweetener. Cook over low heat, stirring until thick. Cool completely and store in non-metal.
Pie Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine 'sweetened condensed milk,' sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.
Each piece is 3 - 3.5 carbs!

My favorite pie other than lemon. My daughter and I use to go to Denny's when she was a little girl for key lime pie. Will bring back nice memories.
Thanks!

I will make it as soon as I go to store.The lemon meringue was good last week.I wonder what a key lime meringue would taste like? :)

YES Umpa, :)

Not fair!!!!! We don't have zero carb cream. The lowest is 3.5c/100ml, so get to add another 29c (for 625ml) to recipe of 25.5c (almond meal/eggs - doesn't lime juice have carbs?) makes it 54.5c into 8 slices =6.8c (pretty much double the carbs).- not happy Jan
(fyi -the phrase 'not happy jan' is a reference to a popular commercial that came out in an Australia some years ago and became an instant hit). I wonder if could use coconut cream which would only add about 6.2c. Do U think it would work out in place of cream?
-
I mean really - your cream is zero? R U sure? The FDA isn't fudging on it's nutritional labels? Awwww it's just not FAIR! Why? How? Ughhh
-
Heavy cream is a zero in the states.Try the coconut cream it may work,lime and coconut go together like peanut butter and jelly!

I always look for and buy the heavy cream that lists it's carbs as zero. That being said though if you notice on the label it shows that the serving size is only 1 Tbs. Knowing how they are allowed to fudge (or round down) labels here in America with being able to say 0 on anything under 1 gram leads me to question if you were to have more than the 1 Tbs how many carbs are you really getting. When you look at the nal.usda web site http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/52 (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/52) it lists heavy whipping cream as having 6.64 carbs per cup. :-\ This is why I always run my ingredients through nal.usda web site or my recipe program to get the true carb counts. Most folks don't realize even your spices you use have carbs in them. That is why always reading labels, portion sizes and moderation are always key in this lifestyle even if it is a 0 carb food.
Morgan I agree with Umpa....the coconut cream should do fine...just be sure to use the full fat kind. We can buy it here in the states in cans. If you Google dairy free and sugar free recipes I bet you can find tons. I'm interested in hearing how it comes out :)

Hi toosweet - our labels.must show per serving and per 100mls or 100grams - 100g/100mls is for uniform comparison, as serving sizes differ. 1 tblspn heavy cream is 0.6c. The FDA allows the manufacturers to fudge their numbers.

This sounds so good! :)
