Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.7 oz Swerve® confectioner’s sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.4 oz unsalted butter melted
- 7 oz full-fat cream cheese
- ¼ cup Swerve® confectioner’s sweetener
- Juice and zest of 4 limes
- 1 tsp powdered gelatin
- 1 TB hot water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Finely grated zest of 1 lime to garnish
- 10 drops lime vitality essential oil
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 3. Press the mixture down into a medium-size, round springform tin (7-inches in diameter) compacting down in a firm, even layer.
- 4. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
- 5. Combine the cream cheese, confectioner’s sweetener, lime EO, the zest, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- 6. Dissolve the gelatine in the hot water and keep it aside.
- 7. Whisk the heavy cream to semi-stiff peaks, then add the gelatin (which should have cooled slightly) and whip to stiff peaks. This addition of gelatin stabilizes the cream.
