Description

Sugar Free Key Lime Jello Pie is a refreshing, creamy dessert with a bright citrus flavor and a nutty almond pecan crust. This no bake pie is light, smooth, and satisfying, making it perfect for anyone looking for a low sugar treat that still feels indulgent. The balance of tangy lime, airy whipped topping, and toasted nuts creates a dessert that is both simple and impressive.


Ingredients

For the crust

Almond flour finely ground

Pecans chopped very fine

Sugar free powdered sweetener

Butter melted and cooled to room temperature

For the filling

Boiling water

Sugar free lime flavored gelatin alternative made with agar agar

Ice water

Whipped topping fully thawed

Fresh lime zest


Instructions

Toast the almond flour and finely chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until lightly golden and fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool slightly

Transfer the toasted nut mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar free powdered sweetener until evenly combined

Pour in the melted butter and mix until the texture resembles damp sand and holds together when pressed

Press the crust mixture firmly into a prepared pie pan, working evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides, then refrigerate until firm

Pour the boiling water into a heat safe bowl and add the sugar free lime flavored gelatin alternative, stirring until fully dissolved and clear

Stir in the ice water until completely melted and the mixture is cool

Gently fold in the whipped topping, then whisk lightly until smooth and uniform

Refrigerate the filling briefly until it thickens to a pourable consistency

Pour the thickened filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top

Sprinkle fresh lime zest over the surface and refrigerate until fully set before serving

Notes

Use a plant based or agar agar lime gelatin alternative to ensure a smooth and reliable set

Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed to avoid lumps in the filling

Finely chopping the pecans helps the crust slice cleanly without crumbling

Allow enough chilling time for the pie to fully set for best texture
