Gluten FreeLow Carb

A keto key lime cheesecake that is set in a coconut crust makes a luscious dessert. A great low carb and gluten free dessert for summer.

As a homage to the key lime pie, I used a 9-inch pie dish to make this cheesecake. When it was complete I rather liked the look of it and would use the dish again to make a coconut crusted cheesecake. If you want to stick with a spring form cake tin I would use an 8 inch one.

Low Carb Cheesecake Crust

Since I made my coconut blueberry cheesecake I have been enjoying a coconut shell for a few desserts. It’s such a delectable alternative to low carb flour crusts and gives a chewy texture too. When I came across the rare occurrence of key lime in the supermarket the combination of coconut and cheesecake called me like a siren.

Keto Key Lime Cheesecake

This key lime cheesecake is surprisingly light, yet creamy. It may have been how I whisked the filling but even a friend who is not keen on sweet desserts enjoyed a piece. I had to give the cheesecake away since the Chief Taster was away and once I tasted a slice I knew that I could not be trusted alone with the key lime cheesecake. I would have eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For the filling I only used a quarter of a cup, purely as I wanted the tartness of the key lime flavour to come through as a contrast to the coconut. I would recommend you taste test the filling, so you can adjust for your own sweet tooth. Call it a great excuse to enjoy a couple of large spoons of the filling.

I was cruel and sent the Chief Taster photos of this whilst he was away, so I will have to make this key lime cheesecake again when he returns. It is also a great excuse to have another piece as the memory of that creamy filling against the cheesecake still lingers with me.

    Have you ever thought about using Coconut Cream to cut the fat content? I saw a recipe for Whipped Cream Using the Coconut Cream. I've Never tasted it, so perhaps it might be Too Much Coconut?

    Hi !
    I'd love to make this recipe which looks delicious but I have one question: if you say that 3 cups of desiccated coconut =180g, which means that 1 cup = 60G, how come that 1/4 cup of butter = 60g too?! I'm European, I use grams and need to understand this in order to not fail this recipe! 😉 Thanks 🙂 Emilie

    • Angela Coleby

      Hi, the cups to grams vary because of the different density of the ingredients.
