Get ready to be excited for the best keto Key Lime Pie recipe ( with a dairy free option)! I was born in the Wilmington, North Carolina and it seemed like every special occasion there was a key lime pie that was mandatory. My dad is from Charleston, SC and it was his favorite too so I like to make it for him on his birthday. This year I wanted to make a keto version of key lime pie for him that was sugar free with a dairy free option. This pie got rave reviews from my family including my dad and husband who are both fans of regular key lime pie (not keto key lime pie). One of the most important ingredients here is the gelatin that is the insurance that this pie will come together and have the right texture. It does have eggs but they are sometimes not enough to make it just right. Also Gelatin provides nutrients missing from the western diet that were very important for our ancestors who had much more robust health than we do today. This Best Keto Key Lime Pie Recipe is a perfect way to get more gelatin in your diet! I love to use gelatin and collagen in my fatty coffee, also for keto recipes. I have used several brands but the one that has been really impressing me lately is from a great company called FURTHER FOOD!It is an awesome company that makes collagen supplements that are truly from the heart.

Keto Berry Cobbler Recipe
My sister makes this keto berry crisp recipe all the time for family occasions. It is a big hit with everyone, even people are not going Keto or low carb. Whip up some heavy cream for a luscious topping that makes it even better. This recipe used frozen berries so you don’t have to worry about berries being in season and it makes it more affordable. This keto berry crisp makes a lot of servings so it perfect for taking to a party to make everyone happy. If you are following a keto or paleo diet you can eat this without feeling like you are cheating. If you are dairy free just top with some coconut milk topping. It is low in carb count and has a lot of fiber coming from the berries and nuts which lowers the net carbs. I don’t think anyone needs to eat sugar substitutes everyday but it is a good option for special occasions and holidays. I like to use brands: Swerve or Lakanto when baking for my family, or just stevia extract powder. We are from the south and desserts like crips or cobbler are the king of desserts. Growing up we always had something like this but it was full of sugar or covered with gluten filled dough. This keto berry crisp is a great change of pace without breaking your belt loops. My grandma made similar versions but they usually included Bisquick so this kind of dessert holds fond memories for me. My dad also loves crisp and cobbler so this always makes him smile whenever my sister makes this dish. If you want to leave off the resistant starch it will still workout just be a little more watery but still delicious. The amount of starch is so small, using 1 tablespoon of potato starch in the whole recipe. What are some of your favorite desserts for a healthy low carb, keto or paleo lifestyle? Leave a comment below and let me know what you want me to make next to be lower in carbs and sugar. Keto Berry Cobbler Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 45- 60 minutes Serves: 12 Filling Ingredients: 48 oz bag of organic frozen mixed berries 10 oz bag of organic frozen raspberries 1/2 cup lakanto golden or swerve granulated 1 tablespoon potato starch (optional) Juice from 1 lemon 1 tsp vanilla extract Topping Ingredients: 1 1/2 sticks melted unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut 3 cups pecans, roughly chopped 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup Lakanto golden or Swerve Instructions: Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Keto Matcha Cheesecake Recipe
I love matcha green tea and cheesecake so I thought I would put them together to make one amazing keto dessert. This one is green so you can take it to your St. Patricks day celebrations. Matcha has amazing antioxidant value but it is important to get it from a clean source because of pollution. I love the one from Perfect Keto because it is presweetened with stevia and has the creaminess of coconut oil added to it that make is smooth and very drinkable. I am sensitive to the caffeine in coffee and have not had it in many years since I had my health breakdown in 2010 and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroid disease. I decided not to have caffeine then and it helped a lot with recovering my mood and energy. Anytime I have coffee again I am addicted in one day. Like I will get a headache and even feel nauseous if I dont get the kit of caffeine again the next day. It is crazy! But that all changed when I tried the amazing matcha from Perfect Keto. I like to mix it with hot almond milk and make a matcha latte. The crazy part is I can drink matcha whenever I want and I don’t have a withdrawal feeling if I don’t drink it. It is not addictive the way coffee is and I get a boost of energy but not jitters followed by a crash like I do with coffee. You will love it as much as I do, guaranteed! It is already sweetened with a little bit of stevia which is nice when you are on the go and don’t want to fiddle with a bunch of packets. A lot of matcha tastes like tree bark so if you have had them before and didn’t like it then give this one a chance. It is the nest one I have tasted hands down. Order my favorite smooth and creamy matcha here. It even works in this awesome Keto matcha cheesecake recipe! Keto Matcha Cheesecake Recipe Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 20 minutes Inactive: 1 hour Serves: 12 mini cheesecakes For the matcha cheesecake: 2 eggs 2 8 oz packages cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners blend 3 scoops Perfect Keto Matcha (or 3 heaping tablespoons) (order my fav matcha here) 2 oz cocoa butter, chopped for the crust: 1 cup blanched almond flour 1/4 cup ground golden flax 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon stevia gylcerite Instructions: Put the cheesecake ingredients in one bowl and mix with a hand mixer until well blended and set aside.
