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!

Grain free and Paleo Crepes

Crepes are something that we make for breakfast on every birthday. I couldn't go without crepes, because they are a family tradition. I created this recipe to be similar to the crepes I used to eat. They taste SO good! They are so easy to make, just blend all the ingredients together and your done! Grain free and Paleo Crepes Makes 12-14 crepes Ingredients 6 Eggs 1 C.

Preheat grill, or pan on medium-low heat. Grease your grill or pan with coconut oil. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 C. of batter on your grill or pan. You will know when they are ready to flip when the top is no longer shiny. Once flipped they don't take very long to cook. I use a pancake spatula to flip these. Serve

Moist Grain Free & Paleo Carrot Cake

I have been wanting to make carrot cake for a LONG time. It is one of my favorites! I created this recipe to have a moist and fluffy cake. It turned out so delicious! I had an idea for creating "cream cheese" frosting with no dairy, I was getting so eager to try it out. I thought that a carrot cake was the perfect cake to go with it. It is so creamy and very similar to the "real" cream cheese frosting I used to make. I will be posting the recipe for it soon!
