Raw Key Lime Pie
A most heavenly pie – the filling is light, creamy and divinely citrus-y. Lemons would probably be good too, but limes make it extra special.
I forgot to take a picture before we started eating – oops!
1 cup almonds
1 cup walnuts
½ cup dates
¼ cup coconut oil
dash Himalayan salt
2 meat from 2 young coconuts
½ cup raw cashew butter
½ cup coconut
oil
¼ cup agave nectar (or to taste)
2 limes - juice and grated rind
dash Himalayan salt
Crust – first 5 ingredients. Start with the nuts and dates in food processor. Blend to desired consistency. Add salt and coconut oil until mixed well. Press into serving plate or spring form pan (greased first). (I always use nuts that have been soaked and dehydrated first – but that is up to you).
Filling – next 6 ingredients. Blend coconut meat well in food processor. Add cashew butter and coconut oil until very smooth & creamy. Continue adding agave nectar, lime juice and rind and salt. Try not to eat too much as you check it.
Spoon into crust, put in the fridge for at least an hour. Garnish with thin lime wedges. The filling would also make a great parfait.

1. I LOVE this pie. sooooo
I LOVE this pie. sooooo decadent. I don't like key lime pie and I don't like coconut. However, I couldn't taste any coconut and the lime was totally refreshing. mmmmm, good pie.

jmasterson-
i bet you could use almond pulp to sub for the coconut meat. for the coconut oil, not sure, but maybe a lesser amount of olive oil. i made this yesterday- i needed to add an extra lime to really get the flavor to come out, but it is delish! i ended up with about 2 cups of extra filling, so maybe i'll try the parfait thing, but any other ideas welcome as well.

i really dislike coconut, any other possible substitute?
