My No-Bake Key Lime Pie in a Jar is like an explosion of SPRING in your mouth! All the Key Lime Flavor you crave but none of the hassle. This Sugar-Free Key Lime Pie is keto-friendly with only 5g net carbs per serving. Another thing that’s even better is that this recipe is also grain-free and gluten-free because I used Blue Diamond® Almond Flour!

There’s something so magical about Spring, especially this year. I think most of use are more than ready to get outside and enjoy the warm weather and hopefully, spend time with friends and family.

And for me, no get-together is complete without delicious food!

Just because you want to celebrate the season, it doesn’t mean that you should sacrifice your healthy way of eating. Whether you are vegetarian, gluten-free, grain-free or low-carb, my Keto Key Lime Cheesecake in a jar is the perfect way to enjoy the moment.

I have to admit, my most favorite part of whipping something up wonderful to eat is going to the grocery store. I could browse the aisles for hours, just looking to see what’s new and enticing.

And one of my favorite places for food browsing, er… shopping, is Food Lion! 

I know that I can pick up everything I need from the ordinary to the extraordinary all in one place, but most especially on this most recent trip my new favorite Blue Diamond® Almond Flour! This finely sifted almond flour adds a nutty flavor and fluffy texture to recipes, delivering delicious results. Click to shop now!

What are Key Limes?

If you are new to key lime pie and/or key limes on their own, I’m so excited to introduce you to them!

Key limes are the cutest little mini-limes. Just like their regular-lime cousins they are bright green when picked, but Key limes get increasingly yellow when ripe. Key limes also have more seeds, higher acidity, thinner skin and have so much more delicious aroma! 

What is No-Bake Key Lime Pie in a Jar?

A Traditional Key Lime Pie is a custard style filling that’s the perfect marriage of tangy and tart with just enough sweet, combined with a crunch crust and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. 

Typically Key Lime Pie is very high in carbs, made with naughty things like canned sweetened condensed milk and baked in a gluten-laden pie crust. While not difficult to make, also not healthy at all. 

So, I did what I do best. I took a classic, cravable dessert and made it into an easier and healthier version!

Less of a custard and more of a Keto Key Lime Pie, my no-bake dessert is so easy to make yet packed with so much flavor!

How to Make Keto Key Lime Pie in a Jar

Why Blue Diamond Almond Flour?

That’s easy, Blue Diamond knows almonds, and theirs are second to none. Light and fluffy, it’s the perfect fine grind that sets apart any almond flour-based recipe. It’s important that you have confidence in the brand of almond flour that you choose. Using poorly made, too coarsely ground almond flour can ruin the best of intentions.

What ingredients are in a No-Bake Key Lime Pie? 

To make a No-Bake Key Lime Pie with an almond flour crust, you don’t need any complicated ingredients. Just a few things:

• Butter
• Monk Fruit or other Keto Friendly sweetener
• Blue Diamond® Almond Flour
• Key Limes or Key Lime Juice
• Cream Cheese
• Heavy Cream

The highlight of this Keto Key Lime Pie is the crunchy almond flour crumble we are going to use as the crust. It’s addictively delicious on its own, similar to a toasted almond granola.

Feel free to use the toasted almond pie crust recipe for other recipes! I know I will be! 

While your almond flour crust is cooling, you can make the No-Bake Key Lime filling. I recommend using the juice and zest from fresh Key limes whenever possible, however bottled Key lime juice works really great too. 

One of the biggest advantage to fresh Key limes is that you get the zest to put in the Key Lime Pies in a Jar as well as to use as a garnish.

It’s the little things, like fresh Key lime zest that makes recipes feel so much more gourmet! 

In your mixer beat cream cheese and monk fruit until well combined and smooth. Then drizzle in key lime juice and zest. When it’s nice and fluffy, add the heavy cream, turn up the speed and WHIP IT!

You might notice that this filling is almost identical to my Keto Cool Whip Recipe, only with Key Lime Juice. It’s like a a No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake! So much fluffy yum!

The easiest way to fill your jars is to use a pastry bag, and pipe in the filling. You don’t need a cake decorating tip, just cut the end off the bag and squish it in!

When it comes to the final touch, aka the whipped cream, you have a few options. You can use your hand or stand mixer to whip it, you can buy it in the spray can OR you can use a whipped cream dispenser.

I have an entire post dedicated to my Homemade Whipped Cream coming soon, so keep an eye out for it next week!

Garnish your Key Lime Pies in a Jar with extra crust crumble, key lime zest and a slice of fresh Key lime to really impress your guests this spring!
