No-Bake Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie
Recipe by Mona Zavosh
Ingredients
- Crust
12 vegan graham crackers
9 medjool dates, pitted
5 tablespoons triple-filtered coconut oil
1 lime, zested
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Filling
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in 3 cups water overnight
3 medium avocados, about 14 ounces
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon triple-filtered coconut oil
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Topping
1/2-3/4 cup coconut whipped topping, thawed in the fridge
2 tablespoons raw sliced almonds
1 lime, zested
Directions
- Place all the crust ingredients into a food processor and pulse until you get a fine sand mixture. Press the crust into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Freeze the crust while you make the filling.
- Drain and rinse the cashews and place them into the food processor along with the rest of the filling ingredients. Run the food processor for 5 minutes. Stop the machine, scrape down the sides, and process again for 1 minute.
- Pour the filling over the frozen crust and smooth out the top with an offset spatula. Freeze the pie for 4 hours or overnight.
- Once the pie is frozen, top with the whipped topping, lime zest, and sliced almonds.
- Allow the pie to thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this tart and creamy treat morning, noon, or night!
