Ingredients.
- 1 cup finely ground almond flour
- 1/4 cup low-calorie natural sweetener (such as Swerve®)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup lime juice
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup low-calorie natural powdered sweetener (such as Swerve®)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ tablespoon lime zest, or to taste
Preparation.
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 2.
Combine almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, lime zest, and salt in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cut in butter with a fork until combined and no lumps remain. Press crust mixture down into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
Step 4.
Whisk lime juice, coconut milk, sweetener, butter, and zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix until sweetener is dissolved; do not let boil. Add beaten eggs slowly, a little at a time, whisking constantly until mixture is foamy and airy and starts to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the filling mixture from heat and spread evenly over the crust.
Step 5.
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6.
Toast shredded coconut in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle coconut and lime zest topping over the bars. Let cool and refrigerate completely before cutting into bars.
