Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie

Time 40 min

Serves 8

Difficulty

This Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie is delish! It is gluten, dairy & refined sugar friendly. The taste actually reminds me of the Raw Macadamia & Lime Cheesecake but it’s much cheaper to make. It’s super easy, I’ve been keeping it in the freezer and I grab a slice when I feel like a treat (let it defrost for about 10-15mins). Taste the filling mixture once you’ve blended it all and adjust it to taste – I added lots more lime and a bit more sweetener.

Almost all of the ingredients can be purchased from our online store. Hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

Base

1 cup of almonds (pulsed into meal)
1 cup of hazelnuts (pulsed into meal)
1 Tbsp of coconut oil
Pinch of salt
2 cups of Medjool dates pitted
1/4 cup of shredded coconut

Filling

2 cups of natural cashews (soaked for 15 minutes minimum you can soak them in warm water to speed up the process)
Juice of one lime
3 ripe avocados
3/4 cup rice malt syrup or maple syrup
2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
The zest of one lime
1/4 cup of coconut oil

Methods

Place all of the base ingredients in a blender until a dough-like consistency is reached.
Grease a springform pan with coconut oil and place the base mixture in pan.
Use the back of a spoon to spread out the base.
For the filling, place only the cashews into a blender and blend until smooth. This may take a few minutes.
Add the remainder of the filling ingredients and blend until well combined.
Pour on top of the base and place in the freezer to set for three hours.
When serving, cut a few slices of lime to put on top as well as some cute flowers to give it a pop of colour!
