Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar substitute (like erythritol)
Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) sugar-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar substitute until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar substitute, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Continue beating the mixture until it becomes fluffy and well combined.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the sugar-free whipped topping into the lemon cream cheese mixture until smooth and evenly incorporated, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the lemon filling into the chilled almond flour crust, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Serve the pie chilled, optionally garnishing with extra whipped topping and lemon zest for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can substitute the almond flour crust with a store-bought low-carb crust if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste preference for a more tart or milder lemon flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with suitable alternatives.
