Vegan Lime Pie Ingredients

This simple lactose-free key lime pie recipe requires just 7 ingredients!

For the base you'll need:

• 2 cups mixed nuts (I used almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts)
• 1.5 cups of dates - pips removed (soak them for around 30 mins first if they're hard)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil - unrefined organic is best, but any will do.

For the avocado key lime pie filling:

• 1 cup coconut butter (note - this isn't the same as coconut oil)
• 1 ripe avocado
• 4 limes, juiced
• 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup (can use 1.5 tablespoons of maple syrup instead)

How to Make Avocado Key Lime Pie

1. Put the nuts, dates and coconut oil in your food processor and process everything into a sticky dough.
2. Press the mixture into the prepared pie mold and pop in the freezer to set while you make the dairy-free key lime pie filling.
3. Next, make the topping by mixing together the avocado, coconut butter, lime juice and brown rice syrup. This is best done in a food processor or blender to gain a smooth consistency. The cream should be beautifully soft, lush and creamy after mixing.
4. Taste and adjust the flavour either by adding more lime juice or more brown rice syrup.
5. Pour the filling over the base, and freeze for around 6 hours.
6. One frozen keep it in the fridge and top with fresh strawberries and crushed pistachios just before serving.

Will this Vegan Key Lime Pie taste like Avocado?

No! The avocado works to replace the traditionally used condensed milk. It adds a lovely creamy texture, but the flavour of the avocado is overpowered by the tangy lime, and sweet syrup.
