Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

I love this light simple key lime pie! It is so creamy and smooth and tastes so fresh, and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. You may worry that it will taste like avocados... I can honestly tell you that it does not. When you put avocados with something, like lime juice, all you can taste is the lime. But you get the creamy and smooth texture of the avocado that makes it so good!

Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

Ingredients

Crust Layer
1/2 C. Almonds(any other nut will work)
1/2 C. Walnuts(any other nut will work)
1 C. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
8 Medjool Dates, pits removed
1 Tbsp. melted Coconut Oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. lime zest

Avocado layer
3 Avocado's
1/2 C. melted Coconut Oil
1/4-1/3 C. Maple Syrup
1/2-3/4 C. Lime Juice*
pinch of Salt

Instructions

Crust layer
In a food processor combine all crust ingredients, and pulse until the dates and nuts are chopped and combined. Press into a pie dish and cover and refrigerate.

Avocado Layer
Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Take crust out of the fridge and pour into the pan. Refrigerate until set to the touch, about 2-3 hours. You can place in the freezer for about 45 minutes. For best results refrigerate overnight.

*I like it to be on the tart side, also, the more lime juice you have, the less likely it is to taste like avocado.

Enjoy!

Paleo & Grain Free Sugar cookies

I have always enjoyed making roll-out sugar cookies. I created this recipe for a valentine's day treat. These have such a similar texture and taste, to the ones that I used to make.
