Diet Plan Friendly Key Lime Pie Recipe
For those who are already following the Body Beautiful diet plans, this recipe makes 6 servings (1P+1F each).
Ingredients
Crust
- 0.50 cup, Almond Meal
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Filling
- 1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese
- 1/3 cup, Egg Whites
- 1 tbsp(s), Better Stevia Liquid – or whatever stevia you have to your taste
- 2 tbsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp, Vanilla extract
Topping
- 5oz Non-fat Greek Yogurt Plain
- 1 Scoop, Casein Protein Powder
Directions
1. First, make the base. Mix the ingredients together and press the mix onto a small spring form pan. A 6 inch pan works well.
2. Stick the crust in the oven and bake it for 10 minutes at 350F. Then, make your filling by blending all the filling ingredients together in a blender or food processor until smooth and pouring the mix on the base.
3. Reduce the oven temp and bake the whole thing at 325F for about 45-55 minutes or until when you shake it, it wobbles a bit on the center but not the sides. You want to remove it from the oven while it’s still wobbly in the center. DO NOT let it cook through.
4. As the filling cools, the center will set and the whole thing will stay firm yet creamy. Once it’s all nicely cooled, make your ‘topping’ by mixing the yogurt and the casein. Add the topping to the cheesecake.
5. You can add some sliced lime for further decoration of some lime zest?
