I just lately got here throughout an outdated recipe I had for a lemon icebox pie I used to essentially take pleasure in throughout the summer season, particularly round Independence Day. It was tremendous straightforward to place collectively, and tremendous tasty, nevertheless it had crushed, sugary cereal for the crust, cool whip, pudding, and an absolute TON of berries on high. I imply, this factor was coated. Not a spot of the filling proven by means of.
The pie was stunning, however clearly not keto-pleasant, so I made a decision to revamp a bit. I swapped out the cereal crust with one constructed from almond flour combined with Swerve brown, pressed-in and baked to set. I made a decision to go extra of a cream cheese route as a substitute of creating pudding, used one in all my go-to components (gelatin) to assist it arrange, and determined to go lighter on the berries whereas utilizing them strategically to get a fairly, colourful sample to garnish.
It turned out lemony and splendidly creamy, and so that is one dessert I’ll positively be bringing to this 12 months’s celebration on the Fourth.
