INGREDIENTS
For the crust:
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted
- ½ cup roasted pistachios
- ½ cup pitted dates
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil 🌴
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Pinch of sea salt
For the filling:
- 5 avocados, pitted and skins removed 🥑
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Juice from 6 limes
- ⅓ cup maple syrup 🍁
- 1 cup melted coconut oil 🌴
- Pinch of sea salt
- Stevia to taste, optional
Optional garnishes, to serve: fresh mint, toasted coconut, lime wedge, bee pollen, crushed pistachios, strawberries 🍓🐝
INSTRUCTIONS
- Grease a pie tin (preferably with a removable bottom) with coconut oil.
- In a food processor, combine all the crust ingredients and blend until the mixture holds together when you push it between two fingers.
- Pour the crust into the well greased pie tin and firmly push crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides until an even layer of crust is covering the entire pie pan. Place in the fridge to harden and cool while you make the filling.
- In a high speed blender or food processor, add all filling ingredients and blend until velvety smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste (add more sea salt if needed, add stevia to sweeten, etc., but you want it to still be tangy).
- Pour this mixture into the chilled crust from the fridge and evenly smooth out the top using a spatula. Place complete pie in the fridge to firm overnight or in the freezer for up to 2 hours or until firm before serving.
- To serve use a hot knife (run under hot water) to slice, serve with optional garnishes and enjoy! Store in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 3 weeks.
