Instructions
Preheat oven to 170°C/325°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan and set it aside.
Make the crust: combine 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread or low-calorie cookies, 1/4 cup allulose, and 5 tablespoons melted light butter or light margarine in a bowl. Mix until evenly combined, then press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom (and slightly up the sides, if desired) of the prepared springform pan.
Prepare the filling: in a blender or food processor, add 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup non-fat (or dairy-free) cream cheese, 2 large eggs, 2/3 cup allulose, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free if needed), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon lime extract (optional). Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour the blended filling over the pressed crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake on the center rack for 45–55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Prepare the whipped topping: with the 113.5 oz chilled coconut milk, scoop out the firm cream portion into a mixing bowl (reserve or discard the remaining liquid). Add 4 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon lime extract (optional). Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
After the pie has chilled, spread the whipped coconut topping evenly over the pie. Release the springform, slice, and serve.
