  • 1/4 cup pecan halves
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a food processor or Nutribullet, process pecan halves with coconut flour and cinnamon until no chunks remain.  Mix in almond milk and vanilla extract.
  • Spray a small glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.  Press crust evenly into base of dish.
  • Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a food processor or nutribullet, combine cottage cheese, lime juice and Truvia until smooth.  Add remaining pie ingredients and pulse until smooth.  Remove food processor container from mixer base and tap the base of the container to remove air bubbles.
  • Pour pie mix over crust and gently tap the base of the dish against a towel-covered counter to remove any remaining air bubbles (pop any that come to the surface with a toothpick).
