Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 0.75 cup Sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Key lime juice (preferably fresh)
- 2 teaspoons Key lime zest (from 2 key limes)
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- Coconut whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Sliced key limes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix until it forms a wet, crumbly texture.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and slightly up the sides.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed coconut milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and spread it out evenly.
Bake the pie for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is slightly set but still wobbly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Before serving, optionally top the pie with coconut whipped cream and garnish with sliced key limes.
Slice and enjoy your healthy key lime pie!
