Low Carb Key Lime Pie
« on: May 23, 2010, 04:23:34 PM »
After that spicy meal treat yourself to this!



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!
Peace and blessings,
