Other Easy Keto Desserts:
Oftentimes people think a low-carb or keto diet means you have to give up all your favorite sweets. While it does mean you have to make some adjustments, you certainly dont have to do without! I have been able to recreate most of my favorite pre-keto desserts to keto friendly options.
For example, this Keto French Silk Pie has all of the hallmarks of the classic, including a flakey crust, but only comes to about 5 net carbs a slice! Some other favorites include:
- Keto Cheesecake Brownies: Rich chocolate brownies laced with vanilla cheesecake swirl for about 2 net carbs each.
- The BEST Keto Lemon Cheesecake Bars: Shortbread crust, topped with a traditional lemon bar layer and then lemon cheesecake. It is so decadent you wont believe they are keto.
- Easy No Bake Cookies: A keto spin on the classic no bake peanut butter cookies for about one net carb each.
- Keto Fruit Pizza: Seriously, fruit pizza! This tastes so much like the original it will blow your mind.
Tips For Making Keto Key Lime Bars
- Let the crust cool completely before adding the filling. If you dont let the crust cool off first, the bars wont set up properly.
- Likewise, the bars need to cool after being baked. If you try to top them with whipped cream while theyre still warm, the cream will melt.
- I like to pop the key lime pie bars in the freezer for about 20 minutes to make them easier to slice. Thats an optional step though!
Why Blue Diamond Almond Flour
Thats easy, Blue Diamond knows almonds, and theirs are second to none. Light and fluffy, its the perfect fine grind that sets apart any almond flour-based recipe. Its important that you have confidence in the brand of almond flour that you choose. Using poorly made, too coarsely ground almond flour can ruin the best of intentions.

How Does The Pie Taste
The traditional pie uses eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and key limes for the custard filling. Sweetened condensed milk is used to balance out the tartness from the key limes. Sweetened condensed milk is often made with low-quality milk and high fructose corn syrup.
Instead of using it in this recipe I opt for cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt , and sweetener to balance out the key lime taste. Since this recipe doesnt use eggs, you have direct control of the taste! Taste your filling repeatedly to ensure it suits your taste.
If this is your first time making the dish, go lighter on the key lime zest and sweetener. That way you can continue to build on and add more as you need it. Once you add an ingredient, you cant take it away.
If you like bold key lime flavor , use 1/2 cup of key lime juice, 1 tablespoon of key lime zest, and 1/2 cup of sweetener. There isnt much sweetness here, its really bold.
If you like moderate lime flavor and a sweet pie, use 1/2 cup key lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon key lime zest, and 3/4 cups of sweetener. You may even opt to use 1 tablespoon of zest here.
Use both of these as guides for how you much you will need in the recipe and taste, taste, taste prior to loading the filling into the pie plate.

Once you have the sugar free condensed milk and crust ready to go, this pie is a snap to make. Here are my best tips for getting it right:

How To Freeze Avocado Key Lime Pie
If you have any extra key lime pie made with avocado which I wouldnt count on, but just in case you can freeze it! Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and keep in the freezer.
When youre ready to eat, simply remove from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge, or let it sit out for a few minutes on the counter to soften a bit. And dig in.
Its delicious frozen! But you can let it thaw on the counter for a bit if its too hard.

How Is This Recipe Nut
This recipe uses shredded coconut, but coconuts are not actually nuts. Theyâre a fruit .
Real Balanced recipes are nut-free, but they DO contain coconut products.
Hereâs what the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology has to say about nut allergies and consuming coconut:
âAlthough the Food and Drug Administration labels coconut as a tree nut, the vast majority of tree nut-allergic individuals also tolerate coconut without difficulty, since coconut is not truly a nut, but rather a fruit.â
Of course, please check with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. If you are looking for recipes that are both nut-free and coconut-free, you can try these keto coconut-free recipes.
Ingredients Needed To Make A Keto
Then its just a matter of using an electric mixer and combining the following ingredients:
- Full-fat cream cheese: Use only blocks of real cream cheese NOT cream cheese spread and make sure its at room temperature.
