Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk or heavy cream, erythritol, and salt. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved and the mixture is heated through.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the warm coconut milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to temper them.
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining coconut milk mixture.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the key lime juice and lime zest until well combined.

Assemble the Pie:
Pour the lime filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Serve:
Garnish with whipped cream or lime slices if desired.
Slice and enjoy your keto key lime pie!
