Instructions
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread (or low-calorie) cookies, 1/4 cup allulose, and 5 tablespoons melted light butter or light margarine. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom (and slightly up the sides, if desired) of the prepared springform pan. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup.
Place the crust-lined pan on a baking sheet (to catch any spills). Set aside while you make the filling.
In a blender or large bowl, combine 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup non-fat (or dairy-free) cream cheese, 2 large eggs, 2/3 cup allulose, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon lime extract (optional). Blend or whisk until the filling is completely smooth and homogeneous.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake on the middle rack for 45–55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but not raw batter.
Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let it cool completely to room temperature (about 1–2 hours), then refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
After the pie is chilled, prepare the topping: open the 13.5 oz chilled coconut milk and scoop out only the thick cream portion into a mixing bowl (discard or save the remaining liquid for another use). Add 4 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon lime extract (optional). Beat with an electric mixer (or whisk) until soft peaks form.
Release and remove the springform ring, spread the whipped coconut topping evenly over the chilled pie, slice, and serve. Store leftovers refrigerated.
