Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice
- 2 cups Greek yogurt non-fat
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese non-fat or dairy-free
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2/3 cup granulated sweetener of choice
- 5 tablespoons light butter or light margarine
- 1 teaspoon lime extract optional
- 4 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 recipe shortbread cookies or any low-calorie cookies of choice, crushed (1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour gluten-free, if needed
- 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk chilled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325F. Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan and set it aside.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies, sweetener, and melted butter until combined. Press this mixture into the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, sweetener, flour, salt, lime juice, and optional lime extract in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour this filling over the crust.
- Bake the pie for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the whipped topping, scoop the cream portion from the chilled coconut milk into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar-free powdered sugar and optional lime extract. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Spread the whipped topping over the chilled pie, then slice and serve.
