Raw Key Lime Pie

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups macadamia nuts or cashews

1/2 cup shredded coconut

2 cups pitted dates

pinch Himalayan or Celtic Sea Salt

4 huge Hass avocados

Juice of 11 juicy limes

3/4 cup agave nectar or black strap molasses or 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted

Preparation

For the Crust: In a food processor, combine nuts, coconut, dates, and salt. Process the mixture until it is well combined, a little bit chunky, and sticky. When it is done, press the crust mixture evenly into a 9 inch pie pan.

For the Filling: Using either a blender or the food processor, combine the avocados, limes, agave nectar, and coconut oil. Blend until smooth (this may take up to 5 minutes in a food processor) and pour the filling over the crust. Smooth the top with an offset spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pie and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to one day before serving.

Great recipe! The benefits of avocado are often overshadowed by its high calories content but I believe it's a mistake: http://www.theironyou.com/2011/07/one-avocado-day-keeps-doctor-away.html

Keep up the great work!
