Probiotic Lime Pie
This is lime pie, some might say it’s key lime pie, but it’s not required to use key-limes- any limes work. Key limes are smaller and tend to lean on the sweeter side, I usually use whatever limes Natural Grocers has in stock. This pie is gluten, soy and refined sugar free but it does have dairy. All of my current Nourished Lifestyle cookbooks are dairy free. You can buy my dessert cookbook and other books here where you will find my recipe for dairy free raspberry cheesecake, it would be pretty easy to change it into a dairy free lime pie. I will also eventually post a dairy free lime pie here on my website, but who knows when. I guess you need to follow my Instagram to stay updated on new recipes!
This pie has a few extra probiotics added in with a few probiotic capsules, live sour cream, and probiotic cream cheese.
The ingredients in this pie are clean enough, you could even eat it occasionally for breakfast. High protein or veggie packed salads are my favorite way to go for breakfast, but an occasional healthy treat for breakfast is ok!
Probiotic Lime Pie
Ingredients
Crust
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 TBSP coconut sugar
- 3 TBSP butter
- Pinch Quality salt (I love Baja Gold)
Filling
- 1.5 cups dates (pitted, chopped small and lightly packed)
- 8 oz container Nancy's probiotic cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups whole milk sour cream with live active cultures (homemade or Nancy's whole milk sour cream)
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 2 probiotic capsules
- zest from 1 large lime + more for "topping"
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Add all crust ingredients to a large bowl and mix well until dough forms.
- Press the crust into a 9 inch pie dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- When pie is baked, remove from oven and set it on a cooling rack until room temperature.
- Add all filling ingredients to a blender and blend on high until very creamy. (I use a VitaMix.)
- Pour filling into crust and chill in fridge for 12-18 hours. Grate extra lime zest over pie, add lime slices to top if desired. Serve cold, store extra in fridge.
