These quick and easy Keto Key Lime Pie Jars are the perfect blend of tart and sweet. They are also fresh and light, making them an amazing summer dessert.
How to Make the Best Keto Key Lime Pie Jars
These keto key lime pie jars are sure to be one of the simplest low carb dessert recipes that you will ever make. With minimal ingredients and just a few minutes of your time, you will be enjoying a rich and delicious sugar free key lime pie in no time flat.
This Keto Key Lime Pie Jar Recipe 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.
Recipe tips and variations
- Use lemons instead of limes
- Use cream cheese instead of mascarpone
- Instead of the lime juice and lime zest, mix in some unsweetened cocoa powder and make a chocolate avocado pudding
- Add some fresh berries on top
- Top it with fresh whipped cream
- Instead of the limes, mix in the juice of one lemon and some fresh mixed berries

Hi, since avocados turn color after a short time when exposed to air, have you had any issues with this dessert turning to an undesirable brown? Thanks
Peggy says
Awesome! My husband made it last night for dessert and it was so good. I can’t wait to get through dinner tonight just so I can have it again!
Betty says
This was the most refreshing dessert - my favorite dessert now
Jo says

i have a dairy allergy what can i sub for the whipping cream?
Cara says
Coconut whip would work all you need is a can of full fat coconut milk the kind you would get from the ethnic isle and then only use the thick coconut cream at the top of the can and whip.
Candy says
Can't wait to try this, do you think I can use almond flour instead of groung Almonds? Also do you have more info on nutrition facts? Protein? fat? just curious 🙂
Kristin Russell says

Aidan Costelloe says
Turned out very tasty! I didn’t have any ground pecans, so I substituted with hemp hearts to up the fat and protein content without adding carbs - tasted great! The cream cheese and real vanilla bean made this a recipe I will be returning to again for an after dinner low-carb treat.
Tammy says
Can you use key lime juice? Pre-keto, I baked a lot of key lime pies! And now I have this bottle of juice, and hate to throw out.... If so, then how much do you estimate is the juice of two limes?
Kyndra Holley says
Yes, you absolutely can. I would start with 2 tablespoons and then taste and add more if necessary.
Lyn Hammond says
Could you leave out the mascarpone cheese? I don't like any kind of cheese, including cream cheese.
Kyndra Holley says
You could always try it with whipped coconut cream instead
