Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Pecan Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups pecan flour (or finely ground pecans)
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
-
- For the Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/3 cup fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional Toppings: Whipped coconut cream or sugar-free whipped topping, extra lime zest, or thin lime slices
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Mix pecan flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Press into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake the crust: Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and cool completely.
- Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and powdered erythritol until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, lime juice, zest, and vanilla. Mix until creamy and combined.
- Fill and bake: Pour filling over cooled crust. Bake 20–25 minutes, until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and chill: Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to firm up.
- Serve and enjoy: Top with sugar-free whipped cream and lime zest before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor — bottled versions can taste bitter.
- Do not overbake; a slight jiggle ensures a creamy texture.
- Chill thoroughly to set the filling and enhance flavor.
- Use powdered sweetener to avoid grittiness in the filling.
- Each slice contains about 4–5 net carbs depending on sweetener used.
