Ingredients
- For the Almond Flour Crust:
- - 2 cups almond flour 224g
- - 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted (76g)
- - 3 tablespoons erythritol 36g
- For the Key Lime Filling:
- - 1 1/2 cups almond flour 168g
- - 1/2 cup key lime juice freshly squeezed (120ml)
- - 1 tablespoon key lime zest 6g
- - 1/2 cup erythritol 96g
- - 2 large eggs
- - 8 ounces cream cheese softened (227g)
- - 1/2 cup sour cream 115g
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5ml
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Begin with the crust by combining almond flour and erythritol in a mixing bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix until a dough forms.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add erythritol, sour cream, vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the key lime juice and zest until the filling is smooth.
- Pour the key lime filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the bars to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
- Cut into bars and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream and additional lime zest.
Notes
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature to ensure even mixing.
