What You Will Need
For the "Crust"
- 30 (75g) Simple Mills sweet thins - This is my favorite and healthy alternative to graham crackers!!
- 1 tbsp. grass fed butter or organic coconut oil, melted
For the Filling
- 2 cups of 2% small curd cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp. sugar free maple syrup - I use the brand Lakanto because it’s sugar free & sweetened with monk fruit. You can use pure maple syrup too, if you aren't watching your sugar!
- Zest of 2 limes
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1-2 tsp monk fruit/stevia/sweetener of choice
Get coconut oil at a discount at Prozis with the discount code "KATIE10" 🤍
How To Make Them
- Crush up the sweet thins until small crumbles resemble and mix with melted butter or coconut oil. Set aside.
- Combine filling ingredients in a strong food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Divide graham cracker crumble among 5 dessert cups (mine are linked here). Top with key lime filling.
- Garnish with any reserved crumbs & additional lime zest, if desired.
How To Store Them
Store your leftover key lime pie bars in an air tight container in the freezer. Allow them to thaw for 15 minutes or so before you eat them again to get the perfect texture!
