Coconut Lime Pie

So, I was inspired to create this recipe after seeing a coconut pie in Whole Foods the other day while shopping.  It looked mouthwatering that my mind  started racing and thinking up of ideas & ways to make a raw version of it! I got home and ended up with this! I think this turned out to be my favorite dessert so far!


                                                       

Ingredients:

Crust:

1 cup raw pecans soaked overnight

1 cup raw walnuts soaked overnight

2 tbsp. coconut oil

1 tbsp. coconut syrup

Place the nuts in a food processor or Vitamix and pulse until coarse,   spoon out the nuts and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the oil, syrup and spread on a pie dish. Set in the freezer for 15mins.

Filling:

2 cups raw cashews soaked overnight

3 tbsp. raw coconut butter

2 tbsp. coconut syrup

Flesh of one coconut 

Juice of one lime

Place all the ingredients in a Vitamix, blend until thick cream and spoon out the filling into the pie crust. Set in the freezer for 15mins. 

Coconut Whipped Cream:

2 cans coconut cream (best when left in the fridge overnight then use)

2 tbsp. raw coconut syrup/raw honey

1 tbsp. raw coconut butter

1 tsp. coconut vanilla

Open the cans and place the coconut water in a cup, save the water for another use. Spoon out the cream into a mixing bowl, add the 

honey or syrup, vanilla and mix for 2 mins. Scoop out the whipped cream and place on top of the pie smoothing it out, add coconut flakes and slices of lime. Set in freezer 15mins. or overnight in the fridge before serving.
