How to make keto avocado key lime pie
All you need is 6 ingredients to make this avocado dessert:
- Avocado – Ensure that it is ripe and soft.
- Key limes – finely grate the zest and use the juice.
- Pecans – the flavour of pecans goes well with the creamy lime filling.
- Powdered low carb sweetener – As this is a no bake dessert, a powdered sweetener works best. I prefer a monkfruit & erthritol blend. If you have granular sweetener you can run it through a coffee grinder for a powder.
- Coconut oil – this helps firm up the filling and the nut base.
- Coconut cream – You can use coconut cream from a can but ensure it is not sweetened. A solid block of coconut cream, dissolved in hot water is another option. Alternatively you can make your own.
How to make coconut cream
Place a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. The coconut cream will thicken and separate from the water. It will be at the top of the can so be careful when you open the can not to shake it. Gently scoop the coconut cream and use in your recipe.

Tips
For a dairy verision, swap the coconut cream with cream cheese or mascarpone cheese.
Lemons can be used in place of the limes.
If you don't have pecans, other nuts will work fine. I'd recommend walnuts for a great flavour combination with the key lime filling.
