I made this for our wedding anniversary dessert, it was lovely although maybe too much almonds, plus i stupidy read the amount of lime juice wrong - duh!

OMG! This looks incredible. I LOVED Key lime pie from CPK in my yesteryears. I have to make this! Thanks for posting this.

Quiora-- I just made it and it was a bit too much lime juice. I would recommend either using more banana or less lime, possibly both. But this is coming from someone who likes things SUPER sweet.
But even so, this is soooooooooo good! Probably the best raw thing I have made thus far. I thought I was going to eat all of the batter before it even got to the pie tin!

Stupid question...is that supposed to be one and 1/4 cups of lime juice? It sounds like a lot, but if that's right, I'll take your word for it. ;)

I made this recipe for my cousin's 17th B-day (she's a very conventional eater...) and she absolutely loved it! I froze the rest and shared it with my non-vegetarian and non-health conscious family with great response, hannah rules! lol

Thanks for all the positive feed back. i love this recipe

O yeah I used walnuts instead of almonds since they are "really raw" so I figured might as well. Also used raw honey instead of agave but used less because it's so strong.
18.
I made this a month or two ago when I saw it on another site.
Amazing! Go out and make this one. I want it again so bad but I don't feel like the mess of a serious recipe like this. SAD people would even like it, I think.

Wow! Can't wait to try it!!
