Instructions
1
Heat oven to 170°C (340°F). In a bowl, mix 70g almond flour, 28g melted butter and 14g allulose until it forms a damp, sandy dough.
2
Press the almond flour mixture firmly into the base and sides of 2 x 8cm individual tart tins, building a thin even wall; prick the base with a fork.
3
Bake the crusts for 10 minutes until just golden at the edges, then cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes while you make the filling.
4
Beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth, then beat in the egg yolk, 30g lime juice and 16g allulose until fully combined and glossy.
5
Divide the lime filling between the two baked crusts and smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
6
Return to the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes until the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the centre; do not let it brown.
7
Cool the pies to room temperature on the wire rack, then chill uncovered for at least 2 hours until fully set.
8
Just before serving, top each pie with whipped heavy cream and a scattering of fresh lime zest.
