Low Carb Key Lime Pie with Cream Cheese

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I tend to favor the quick and easy low carb recipes. Like most working mothers, I don’t have a lot of spare time for cooking and baking healthy food.

I believe that relying on fast or processed foods will only result in a weakened immune system and excess body weight. This is why I continue to make most of our food from scratch with only an occasional pre-made mix or heat and serve frozen meals.

My biggest weakness is still having a sweet treat after dinner. I knew that was going to be a problem at our family Easter gathering so I made a low carb key lime pie for dessert.

Although that pie was okay, it wasn’t the creamy kind that I really like. It was more of a lime version of lemon meringue without the meringue topping. So, I ventured out to find a low carb key lime pie with cream cheese to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I came across several no-bake key lime pies made with cream cheese. But, most called for sweetened condensed milk which is very high in sugar.

After giving it some thought, I came up with the idea to substitute the condensed milk with whipped cream which has no added sugar and is thick like condensed milk.

To make up for the sweetness, I added a low carb sweetener. It was a perfect substitute, at least for making a no bake low carb key lime pie with cream cheese.

The key lime pie I made for the holiday had a coconut flour crust. To be different, I wanted to try a new pie crust made with almond flour.

I was very surprised at the results of combining cream cheese with almond flour and a little sweetener. The fat from the cream cheese made the almond flour into a thick past that was easily spread onto a pie pan.

I baked the crust in the oven to make it more like a regular flour crust. So, you could argue this isn’t a completely no bake pie.

The filling in this easy low carb key lime pie with cream cheese is no-bake. And, the taste was just what I was looking for!

For a true no-bake pie, you could use a crust that requires no baking. You could probably just mix up some almond flour, sweetener, and maybe a bit of cinnamon and press it into a pie plate.
