Raw Vegan Key Lime Pies

Hello everyone!


We promised we'd share this YUMMY recipe with you guys...so here it is!
These raw key lime pies we're created in a few minutes! We took a few ideas here and there of other peoples recipes and we created our own. We we're out of limes, but that didn't stop us...we used lemons! worked wonderfully. Oh! And some people might wonder what made the filling green. Well, we used avocados! Avocados are very versatile and work very well in main dishes, dips and even desserts! Did you know avocados are a fruit and are part the berry family?! So this is a once-again, super easy-to-do recipe and way healthier than your common key lime pie! No need to feel bad when indulging yourself with these little treats!

Here are the ingredients for the crust:


- 3/4 cup nuts (we mixed: bresil, almonds and walnuts)
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened (raw) coconut
- 2 tablespoons datte purée
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol free, or vanilla bean powder)
- dash of salt

Put the nuts in food processor and grind them until you get a small crumble texture. You don't want it to be a 'flour'. Add the coconut, salt and vanilla extract in the food processor. Mix for until combined. Put your mixture in a bowl and add the date purée. Mix with your hands. Take out a cupcake mold and add a bit of coconut oil in the bottom, so it will be easier to remove the pies. You can use a brush or your fingers and just put a thin layer. You can now add the crust into each little mold. Press down and cover the sides of the molds. 


Now, for the filling, you will need;
- 1 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of coconut butter (is a bit like coconut oil, but is made with the white inside part of the coconut).
-1/2 cup agave nectar
- 1/2-3/4 cup pressed lemon juice

You will need your food processor or Vitamix. Put all of the ingredients in and blend until you obtain a smooth texture. I suggest you keep you oil and coconut at room temperature at least 1/2h before you start doing the recipe. You don't want the coconut oil - especially, to be hard and clumpy. If you don't have time to wait, just melt your coconut oil. The coconut butter doesn't need to be melted though. Once you get the filling ready, you can divide it into the molds you crusted a few minutes before. You can add lime slices on top to decorate or any kind of decoration you want, we just added a bit of shredded coconut! You can put them in the fridge for a couple of minutes to let the filling get a bit firm. It will be easier to un-mold them. Everybody really enjoyed these!
