single-serve key lime pie

It’s no secret: pies are notoriously hard to make. They’re one of those things that my family would only have for special occasions… a true labor of love. It’s also no secret that I have absolutely no patience when it comes to desserts! SO I took it upon myself to make this single-serve key lime pie recipe to be easy, healthy, tart, coconutty… everything you need to satisfy a pie craving!

I’ve been so thrilled to share this recipe! The custard-like filling only requires 4 healthy ingredients that you simply have to whisk together before pouring into the buttery homemade pecan crust… OK YUM.

Finding easy desserts to make that follow the specific carbohydrate diet has required a LOT of creativity in the kitchen, but its been so much fun experimenting & finding some fun, wholesome alternatives that make me feel good! Goodbye sugar crashes and stomach aches!

I also always seem to be craving something different every day, so not having any leftovers that I “HAVE” to finish is a major bonus to my fun single-serve creations! Single-serve recipes are especially great when I’m living on my own in my college apartment where I don’t have much refrigerator space for leftover sweets.

You can probably find me making this on repeat all summer!
