Steps:

- In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream with 2 packets sweetener until soft peaks form. Set aside.

After all cream cheese is added, stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, and beat at high speed until smooth. Carefully fold in the whipped cream. Use a spatula to scrape mixture into the pie pan and spread around. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons ground nuts on top. Refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow gelatin to set thoroughly.

LOW CARB KEY LIME PIE WITH LOW CARB CRUST!
I really enjoy the results of the South Beach Diet, but there's only so long I can take eating cheese, meats or salads, sometimes you just need something sweet - and not another Jell-O cup. The consistency of the filling of this dish is so thick and flavorful, you won't know it's a substitute and with some borrowed tips from member, CinLin, for the low carb crust plus a few added twists, you won't even miss the graham cracker crust. You can also mix up the flavorings for both the filling and the crust to create a lemon cheesecake, a chocolate mousse pie, or whatever you're craving! Additionally, please note I erred on the side of smaller servings, so if you have more than two mouths to feed, I would double the recipe.

Steps:
- Start with the crust.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor add the cup of raw almonds, pulse until it is the size of sand granules (not too fine!).
- Add in the 2 packets of Splenda and the 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Pulse until it is well mixed and a workable paste.
- Spray a small, square baking dish (I actually prefer a metal pan as it has the tendency to crisp the nuts better) with cooking spray and with a spatula, add in the mixture and pat until evenly spread.
- Put in oven for 10-12 minutes; broil on top for another 1-2 minutes. Be careful that it doesn't burn; it should be a toasted brown.
- Once done, take out of oven and put in the freezer.
- For the filling:.
- In a food processor, add 1/2 package of lime Jell-O; follow the directions on the box and then pulse in the food processor until well mixed.
- Add in 1 juice of lime as well as some zest from the peel.
- Add in the softened Neufchatel cheese.
- Pulse until well-mixed, should be a thick liquid mixture.
- Add the filling on to your crust and smooth until even.
- I prefer to put it back into the freezer for about 1 hour and then either enjoy as a frozen treat or take it out for a few minutes to soften, but you can also just put it in the fridge for a few hours to set.
- Garnish with sliced lime and sugar-free cool whip and serve!
- (You can also substitute the lime Jell-O for lemon Jell-O for a cheesecake variation or chocolate Jell-O pudding for a chocolate mousse pie--minus the lime, of course).
Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the crust. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly mixed and has a fine texture.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also make the crust by hand. Simply mix the ingredients together in a bowl until they are well combined.
- Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent it from cracking when it is baked.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- Let the crust cool completely before filling it.
- For the filling, be sure to use fresh key limes. This will give the pie the best flavor.
- If you can't find key limes, you can also use regular limes. Just be sure to add a little more sugar to the filling.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
- Add the key lime juice and zest to the filling and mix until well combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
This low-carb key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy filling and tangy key lime flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
