Ingredients

1 Store-bought graham cracker crust - I used reduced-fat
16- oz. reduced-fat cream cheese softened
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (120g)
1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener (96g) or sugar/sweetener of choice
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (30g) can omit*, see notes
2 Tbsp key lime juice
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

For Garnishing:

Whipped cream or homemade whipping cream
Thinly sliced key lime and/or key lime zest

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Then add the rest of the ingredients and beat until all the ingredients are incorporated. Taste and add any additional key lime juice or sweetener to taste.
Pour key lime mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top so it’s even.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and key lime slices, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

To make gluten-free: use a store-bought, gluten-free pie crust or make a pie crust using gluten-free flour.

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free greek yogurt and dairy-free whipped cream.

*You can easily omit the protein powder in this recipe. If you do, just taste the batter before adding it to the pie crust to test for sweetness (since the protein powder adds some sweetness) and add more sweetener if needed to taste.

Use any crust you want! Homemade crust is also amazing. And don't sweat it if you can’t find a reduced-fat crust, using a regular store bought one just increases the fat by 2g.

This recipe needs to set for minimum of 4 hours but ideally overnight. Just whip it up the afternoon before you plan to enjoy and have it ready for dessert or your next get-together the next day.
