Ingredients You’ll Need

Simple, clean, tropical goodness:

• Full-fat coconut cream (1 cup)
  Use the thick part from a chilled can for creaminess.
• Heavy whipping cream (½ cup)
  Adds lightness and fluff.
• Powdered erythritol or monk fruit (3–4 tbsp)
  Adjust to taste. Powdered keeps texture smooth.
• Fresh lime juice (2 tbsp)
  Bright, tangy, and keto-friendly.
• Lime zest (1 tsp)
  Enhances the lime flavor without extra liquid.
• Vanilla extract (½ tsp)
  Optional, but smooths out flavors.
• Pinch of salt
  Tiny, but flavor-enhancing.
• Optional garnish: toasted unsweetened coconut, lime slices, or mint leaves

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters.
   This helps the whipping process go smooth and airy.
2. Whip the cream.
   Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form.
3. Prepare coconut-lime mixture.
   In another bowl, mix coconut cream, lime juice, lime zest, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
4. Fold whipped cream gently.
   Combine whipped cream with coconut-lime mixture. Fold gently to maintain airiness.
5. Taste and adjust.
   Want it tangier? Add more lime juice. Sweeter? Add more powdered sweetener.
6. Chill for at least 1 hour.
   Let it set and flavors meld.
7. Serve in bowls or glasses.
   Garnish with toasted coconut, lime slices, or a mint leaf if you’re feeling fancy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using liquid coconut milk instead of cream.
  Texture will be too thin. Thick cream = snow-like texture.
• Overmixing whipped cream.
  You’ll lose fluffiness and get dense dessert.
• Too much lime juice.
  A little goes a long way. Balance is key.
• Skipping chill time.
  Dessert is best after flavors have melded and texture set.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Lemon instead of lime:
  Slightly less tropical, but equally refreshing.
• Add berries:
  Keto-friendly raspberries or blueberries work beautifully.
• Dairy-free:
  Replace heavy cream with more coconut cream for full dairy-free version.
• Flavor twist:
  Add a drop of coconut extract for extra tropical vibes.
• Toppings:
  Crushed keto-friendly nuts, unsweetened chocolate shavings, or a few mint leaves.

FAQ (Because You Know You’re Curious)

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Refrigerate for up to 2–3 days. Fluff lightly before serving.

Is it really keto?
Absolutely—using coconut cream, heavy cream, and sugar-free sweetener keeps it low-carb.

Can I freeze it?
Technically yes, but texture may change. Best served fresh or chilled.

Can I use canned coconut milk instead of cream?
Use only the thick cream part. Liquid milk will make it runny.

How tangy should it be?
It’s bright but balanced. Adjust lime juice to your taste.
