INGREDIENTS
BASE – 1 cup Almonds – 1/3 cup Cashews – 3/4 cup Desiccated Coconut – 1/2 cup Sugar-free Maple Syrup – 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract – 1/4 teaspoon Salt – 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil KEY LIME AVOCADO FILLING – 1 1/2 cup Avocado – 3/4 cup Coconut Oil – 1/4 cup Coconut Milk – 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp Lime Juice – Zest of 1 Lime – 7 Tbsp Sugar-free Maple Syrup
Making the Base
In a food processor, with the S blade attachment, add all the base ingredients. The order doesn't matter.
1
Blend Base Ingredients
Blend at high for about 1-2 minutes. Stop the food processor, scrape down the side every 30 seconds and repeat until the ingredients come together and form a sticky batter that is easy to press into a pie dish to form a crust.
2
Press in Pan
Press the mixture into an 8-inch non-stick removable bottom tart pan. You can also use an 8-inch glass pie dish. I found the first option easier to unmold and serve beautiful pie.
3
Freeze the Base
Make sure the mixture gets an even thickness on the bottom and sides of the tart pan - about 3-4 mm thick is what I found the best to hold well. Freeze while you prepare the key lime filling.
4
Make Filling
Place all the filling ingredients into a blender or food processor, except the lime zest.
5
Blend Filling Ingredients
Blend/process on high until it forms a creamy green batter. It should have no lumps. Stir in the lime zest with a spatula.
6
Pour in Pie Crust
Pour the avocado key lime filling into the prepared pie base, spread evenly with a spatula, and return to the freezer for 1 hour a least or 3 hours in the fridge.
7
Unmold
To unmold, push up the removable bottom of your tart mold and it will release the pie easily. If you are using a glass pie dish, simply cut the pie into 8-12 servings. Serve the slice using a pie server.
