Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1.5 cups crushed cookies (use low-calorie options such as shortbread)
  • 0.25 cups allulose (a low-calorie sweetener)
  • 5 tablespoons light butter (or light margarine)
For the Filling:
  • 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup non-fat or dairy-free cream cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.67 cups allulose
  • 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime extract (optional)
For Topping:
  • 1 can chilled coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 4 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lime extract (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

Stepwise Method:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and 1/4 cup allulose. Melt the 5 tablespoons light butter and pour it into the cookie mixture. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
  2. Step 2: Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the 2 cups Greek yogurt and 1 cup cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the 2 large eggs, 2/3 cup allulose, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and the optional 1 teaspoon lime extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Step 3: Combine Coconut Milk: In a separate bowl, whisk the chilled 13.5 oz coconut milk with 4 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sugar and the optional 1 teaspoon lime extract until smooth. Gently fold this mixture into your yogurt and cream cheese filling, ensuring not to deflate it.
  4. Step 4: Bake the Pie: Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the pie for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour.
  5. Step 5: Chill and Serve: Once cooled, transfer the pie to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor. Slice and serve chilled, garnished with lime zest or slices for an extra pop of color!

Notes

  • For best results, allow the pie to chill overnight to let the flavors meld beautifully.
  • If you like a more intense lime flavor, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of lime juice.
  • This pie can be frozen for up to 2 months. Just wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.
