Ingredients
Crust:
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons low carb sugar substitute or Natvia
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Stabilized whipped cream:
- 1 teaspoon grass-fed gelatin
- 4 teaspoons cold water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons low carb sugar substitute powdered
Filling:
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup low carb sugar substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest of 2 key limes
- juice from 4 key limes about 3 tablespoons
Instructions
Crust:
- In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, and Natvia sweetener.
- Add melted butter then divide between eight 4 ounce jars or dessert cups.
- Press down to form a crust at bottom of each cup.
Stabilized Whipped Cream:
- In a small pan, combine gelatin and cold water; let stand to soften gelatin.
- Place over low heat, stirring constantly, just until the gelatin dissolves.
- Remove from heat; cool slightly at room temperature (do not allow it to set).
- Whip the cream with the icing sugar, until slightly thick.
- While slowly beating, stream in the gelatin liquid to whipping cream.
- Whip at high speed until stiff. Set aside.
Filling:
- In medium bowl, blend all filling ingredients with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Fold in half of the stabilized whipped cream.
- Pipe or spoon filling over crust in each jar, dividing evenly between the cups.
- Top off each jar with the remaining whipped cream.
- Decorate with additional lime zest and slices if desired.
Notes
A cheesecake pie can be made by pressing the crust into a 9-inch pie pan and topping it with the filling. Gelatin is used to stabilize the whipped cream so it doesn’t separate or go flat after it’s been whipped.
