List of Ingredients




1 pkg sugarfree lime jello (0 carb)
1/3 cup boiling water
1/3 cup cold water
2 8-oz pkg softened cream cheese (16 carb)
1/2 cup heavy cream (3 carb)
1 pkg sweetener (1 carb) or stevia equiv
1 tsp coconut extract
1 cup ground pecans (11 carb)
1 Tbsp butter (0 carb)



Recipe



Melt butter in a small bowl. Add ground nuts, sweetener and half the coconut extract. Mix well. Pour all into the bottom of a pie pan except for 2 tbsp. A clear glass pan is pretty. Spread all over bottom of pan and put in fridge to chill. In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream until peaks form. Set aside. While it is being whipped, bring water to boil. Mix the jello with 1/3 cup boiling water until all the gelatin has dissolved. Then, add cold water and stir. For the next step you need a big bowl with HIGH sides. Put gelatin in bowl. Slowly add in the cream cheese ( add each 8-oz package in 4 chunks) and continue to beat with a mixer at slow speed. After all cream cheese is added, put in the remaining coconut extract and beat at high speed until smooth. Then, using low speed blend in the whipped cream. Use a spatula to scrape mixture into the pie pan and spread around. Sprinkle remaining nuts on top. Chill for at least 2 hours so jello can set. Servings: 8
