Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.75 cup Key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Key lime zest
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 for garnish Lime slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until you obtain a crumbly mixture.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until thick and well combined.
Add the key lime juice and key lime zest to the egg mixture, and gently whisk to combine into a smooth filling.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the center is just set.
Remove from oven and let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
Once the pie is thoroughly chilled, garnish with whipped cream and lime slices before serving.
