Raw Lime Pie, oh MY!


Okay, I know it was a stretch to get you to put avocados into a dessert before, but I do believe that this creation puts the Chocolate Avocado Mousse Pie to shame. Well, that's not true, but it gives you another great option for incorporating the creamy green fruits into a delicious dessert.

First, its quick and easy.
Second, its beautiful!
Third, its rich and creamy.
Forth, eat it already!

This pie includes lots of good oils: there's the nut crust, the avocados, and coconut oil. Not only do these ingredients make the pie filling and delicious in small servings, but they have vitamins, minerals, and other good stuff. Enough talk. Here's the recipe:

Raw Lime Pie

Crust:
1 c. almonds
1/2 c. walnuts
2 TBS. maple syrup
pinch of sea salt

Filling:
3-4 medium-size avocados (ripe)
3/4 c. coconut oil (melted)
juice of 4 limes
1/2 c. maple syrup or honey (add more to your taste)
dash of salt

1. In a food processor, combine all crust ingredients. Process until you reach cornmeal consistency. Add more maple syrup if it seems too dry.
2. Pat crust into a pie dish and put in freezer.
3. Put all of the filling ingredients (EXCEPT THE COCONUT OIL) into a clean food processor and puree until smooth.
4. Keep the processor going and pour in the coconut oil. Puree until creamy.
5. Spread the filling into the pie shell with a spatula.
5. Place the pie in the freezer to firm up.
ENJOY.
