Vegan day 321: Raw Key Lime Pie

I love KEY LIME PIE!
Not such an easy thing to replicate, however, this recipe is probably close EXCEPT that I’m sure I messed something up. It didn’t look good for sure. The pecan crust was amazing of course but the filling was a bit more challenging. I think I went avocado crazy lol. It’s really a shame that I made a mistake because the ingredients are all delicious and nutritious!

The recipe is from RAWSOME by Brigitte Mars:
First of all, I need bakeware! I honestly don’t even know what pie tins, glass pie plates or springform pans look like. Well, I just ordered a springform pan today so now I actually know. I bought that for the cheesecake that we made yesterday. I have to keep doing these recipes until I get them right!

CRUST
2 cups pecans soaked overnight, rinsed and dehydrated until crunchy
1/2 cup of dates soaked for 20 minutes

FILLING
1 avocado- I am guessing now- NOT a giant size one
1/2 cup coconut water
Coconut meat- about the amount of one young coconut
1/3 cup lime juice
Grated peel of half an organic lime
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon celtic salt
1/2 cup dates soaked for 20 minutes
2 tablespoons of flaxseeds

1st make the crust: Combine the pecans and dates in a food processor and mix. Press the mixture into a glass pie plate. I worked with what I had and the crust was delicious. 

Next, combine all the filling ingredients into a food processor and puree. I’m guessing I didn’t puree long enough plus I used too much avocado. Pour the filling over the crust and chill for one hours. 

As soon as I come across a glass pie plate, I’m going to try this again!
