The Recipe

Key Lime Pie (Raw)

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    Filling:
    2 avocados
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    1/2 cup coconut oil
    2 tablespoons agave or other sweetener

    Crust:
    1/2 cup almond pulp/flour
    1/2 cup dates (not soaked)
    pinch salt
    pinch cayenne (or nutmeg)

Directions:

1. Lightly oil a muffin tin (springform could work if you doubled the recipe). Blend the filling ingredients until smooth.
2. In processor, combine crust ingredients until fairly smooth, no big chunks of dates.
3. Press crust into prepared muffin tin. Spoon in filling.
4. Freeze 1-2 hours. 3-4 hours gets it hard like ice cream cake. If that happens, set out for 5 minutes before eating.

Makes: 2-4 servings, Preparation time: 10-15 minutes


As I said, quick and easy and you will not be unsatisfied with this recipe. Add a few sliced strawberries on top and have at it!


Until next time...
Happy Snacking!
