Ingredients

  • 1 gluten free graham cracker pie crust or a prebaked regular pie crust
  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
  • ¾ cup coconut milk full fat
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • ¼ cup lime juice juice from about 4 limes
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest zest from about 2 limes, reserve about ½ a teaspoon of zest for the garnish
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews overnight in enough water to fully cover them.
  • Drain the cashews and throw away the water.
  • Dump the cashews, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, lime juice, lime zest (reserving a teaspoon or so as garnish), and honey in a full-sized food processor. Process until smooth.
  • Pour the blended pudding into a gluten free graham cracker pie crust. Spread evenly in the crust. Garnish with the remaining lime zest.
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours before serving. Cut in pieces and serve.

Notes

Note: You can make this pie vegan by substituting maple syrup for the honey.
