Preparation Time: 40

Serves: 6

Crust Ingredients:
  • 1 cup pecans, soaked for a few hours and surface-dried in the dehydrator
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked for a few hours and surface-dried in the dehydrator
  • 1 cup dates, unsoaked, pits removed and cut into pieces
  • pinch Celtic sea salt
Filling Ingredients:
  • ¾ cup of key lime juice (about 12 key limes), or regular lime juice
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 3 Hass avocados, pits removed, peeled and cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla powder
  • ½ cup raw honey
Shredded coconut, key lime zest or kiwi fruit slices as garnishes. Place the crust ingredients into a food processor and run it until the mixture turns into crumbs and starts to stick together. Transfer the crumbs into a pie tin, and using your hands press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and sides of the plate, making the pie crust. Blend together the filling ingredients in a blender, adjust the sweet and sour elements according to your taste, and transfer the filling into the pie tin on top of crust. Level with a spoon. Chill covered in the refrigerator before garnishing, and freeze for 2-3 hours before serving. Note: Preparation time is 40 minutes plus soaking, dehydrating and chilling time.
