How to make the best key lime pie keto dessert ever

What makes this gluten free key lime pie different?
Well for one thing, it is loaded up with healthy fats because we snuck some avocado in there. It adds a rich, buttery texture and you would never know that you were eating a whole avocado. The avocado combined with the silky richness of the mascarpone cheese makes you think that you are actually eating a key lime cheesecake. Also, in place of a traditional graham cracker crust, we used crushed nuts to keep it low carb and gluten free. But I think what makes this low carb key lime pie really special is that it's a no bake key lime pie too. Just mix and eat. It's as simple as that.
