Serves: 8 (no judgement if it's less!)
Total Time: 15 minutes active, 4 hours for cooling
Crust Ingredients
- 1½ cup raw almonds, ground
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar, unrefined
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
Filling Ingredients
- 1/4 cup raw unfiltered honey
- 2 , ripe, pitted, and scraped from peel

- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/4 cup coconut milk, canned
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

- In a food processor blend all filling ingredients together until very smooth.
- Spoon filling into cooled pie crust. Chill or freeze for 4 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

- Store in the refrigerator or freezer if you don’t finish it immediately.
Health Benefits
This key lime pie is a much lighter, healthier, gluten-free version of an old favorite! Avocados provide the healthiest fats you can find in the form of monounsaturated chains, which actually act as a delivery vehicle for nutrients. Our bodies need fats to help absorb vitamins! The texture of this mousse is super sexy (seriously, avocados are not only rich in fats, they have a rich history of assisting sexual health too!) The bananas add sweetness and even more whipped delight to this recipe, as well as a healthy dose of potassium to aid in muscle recovery. Almonds are packed with magnesium and vitamin E, while the limes are dosing you with a whole bunch of vitamin C.
As far as desserts go, when it comes to nutrition, this one takes the cake! Or should we say pie?
