No Bake Key Lime Pie Bites-
These No Bake Key lime Pie Bites are paleo, low carb, keto, dairy free, gluten free and vegan. They are wicked yummy and so easy to make.
No Bake Key Lime Pie Bites are so easy to make and ridiculously yummy! My Hubby told me that these are the best dessert I have ever made him. Which is crazy, because I have made him some very complicated, beautiful, culinary baking masterpieces for special occasions, and yet these no bake, easy, freezer treats are his favorite. I don’t know whether I should be pleased or totally insulted.
So, now he tells me that key lime is his favorite pie! I have known him for over 30 years, and I could have sworn his favorite pie was apple. Wow, you think you know a person, and then they change favorite pies on you, lol.
However, he is correct that these taste completely awesome. The fact that they are super simple and involve no baking or cooking is a bonus!

No Bake Key Lime Pie Bites
Ingredients:
Pie Crust Coating Ingredients:
- ¼ cup macadamia nuts
- 1 tsp lime zest, use a micro-plane like this one
- 2 tbsp sweetener of choice: Swerve (erythritol granular) for low carb, or coconut sugar for paleo
- Pinch sea salt if nuts are unsalted
Key Lime Pie Bites Ingredients:
- ½ cup macadamia nuts, raw or dry roasted
- ½ cup sunflower seeds, raw and shelled
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup sweetener of choice: Swerve for low carb, or coconut sugar for paleo
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
Kitchen Supplies:
- Food processor
- Micro-plane for grating lime zest
- Citrus juicer hand held
- Candy mold or ice cube tray
Directions:
- In a food processor mix all the pie crust coating ingredients. Pulse until a coarse, grainy flour forms. Pour pie crust coating mixture into a bowl and set aside.
- In the food processor add all the key lime pie bite ingredients, and pulse until a thick and creamy nut butter or hummus like texture forms.
- Grease or oil a candy mold or ice cube tray. Fill the mold tray with the creamy key lime pie mixture.
- Freeze the candy molds with key lime pie mixture for 30 to 40 minutes, or until solid and firm.
- Remove key lime pie bites from mold, and roll them in the pie crust coating in the bowl.
- Keep these and store in the freezer in a container, as they don’t get hard frozen and stay firm but creamy even if in the freezer for days.

Ashlie says
26 March, 2019 at 2:00 pmI’m so excited to make these! But the only sweetener I can have is stevia at the moment. Will it throw off the texture if I replace the coconut sugar/swerve with liquid stevia?
Stacey says
27 March, 2019 at 11:28 amHi Ashlie, stevia alone can have a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is best when combined with another low carb sweetener like erythritol or monkfruit sweeteners.

16 May, 2018 at 4:07 pmHi these sound delicious. Can you please tell me how many is in a serving? I am watching calories and carbs😊
Stacey says
17 May, 2018 at 9:17 amThe serving size is per each key lime pie ball.
Jean L says
3 February, 2018 at 7:20 pmI adore Key Lime pie & these are perfect! So very good…and pretty easy. Thank you!
Stacey says
7 February, 2018 at 8:38 amThank you, Jean 🙂
Pam says
17 March, 2017 at 4:49 pmI always get so confused when recipes call for coconut milk. Is this the coconut milk in a can or the one in the box that is usually refrigerated?
Stacey says
18 March, 2017 at 7:35 amHi Pam, in this recipe I used the unsweetened one in the carton that goes in the fridge once opened, but either canned or the refrigerated carton kind can be used in this recipe. I only specify canned coconut milk, if only that kind it can be used. You could even use unsweetened almond milk in this recipe.
Pam says
18 March, 2017 at 9:01 amThanks stacy. I bought the canned kind. Can’t wait to make these.
Stacey says
18 March, 2017 at 1:06 pmYou’re most welcome Pam 🙂
Marilyn says
9 March, 2017 at 8:54 pmCan I form the lime balls in my hands without a mold?
Stacey says
10 March, 2017 at 9:42 amMarilyn, I’m thinking you could use your hands to mold and place on a baking sheet in the freezer to set. It might be messy for your hands though.

16 February, 2017 at 7:35 amLove these!!! 😃❤️
Which Ninja model is that? Looks so much easier than the 14 cup Cuisinart processor!!!
Stacey says
16 February, 2017 at 4:49 pmHi Nanabella, I used the Ninja Express Chop (NJ110GR) 3 cup model. I bought it at Target. It is on Amazon for around $22. It is easier then dragging out the big processor.
Angela says
13 February, 2017 at 10:28 amDelicious! These ones I’ll make more often
Stacey says
14 February, 2017 at 10:10 amThank you so much Angela. Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Noline says
12 January, 2017 at 11:52 amI love the recipe. Do you always use macadamia nuts or could pecan nuts also work?
Stacey says
13 January, 2017 at 12:11 pmUsually use macadamia nuts and sunflower seeds, but have also used cashews and sunflower seeds. I’m not sure if pecans would work.

11 December, 2016 at 7:47 pmSaved this recipe on Pinterest; will share on Facebook. Better yet is to get a few of the needed ingredients—macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, and limes; I have the rest and will make very soon! Thank you!

10 December, 2016 at 3:57 pmAnother nice video with calming music! My husband is the same way. I can spend a few days working on a complicated dessert that involves several steps and it’s the super simple desserts that he likes the best. Lol. These sound yummy.

Margaret says
4 December, 2016 at 8:11 amHi Stacey. I’m a newbie baker. Just to show you that I’m truly a newbie, I hadn’t touched my oven in like 25 years, though I’ve been trying for about a year now (well, I lie, I touched it to store pots) :). The FIRST thing that drew me to these: NO BAKE! The SECOND, Key Lime! I have a question:
The “1/3 cup coconut oil, melted.” Is that once it’s melted it measures 1/3 cup, or the 1/3 cup is the solid measurement ()doesn’t matter what the melted amount is?
Will be making these for Christmas! Thank you.
Stacey says
4 December, 2016 at 8:59 amHi Margaret, I measure after melted. It should be about 1/3 cup, but it is okay if it’s a little under or over (does not have to be exact in this one) 🙂 Thank you for trying the recipe. Wow, 25 years oven free!
Bethany @ Athletic Avocado says
