Ingredients
Crust
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 1¼ cups raw unsalted cashews
- 1 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- ¼ cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Filling & topping
- 1¼ cups mashed avocado (2 large avocados)
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese
- â…“ cup + 1 tbsp raw honey, divided
- ½ tbsp lime zest + 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (TIP: Save additional lime zest for garnish.)
- 1 cup whipping cream (35%), divided
- 2 tbsp toasted coconut chips, optional
Preparation
1. Prepare crust: Grease an 8-inch pie plate with 1 tbsp oil. To a food processor, add remaining 2 tbsp oil and remaining crust ingredients; process until mixture comes together in a ball. Transfer mixture to pie plate and press along the bottom and up the sides to form an even crust. Refrigerate until firm, 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare filling: In a food processor, process avocado, cream cheese, ⅓ cup honey, lime zest and juice until smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, with an electric hand mixer on high, whip ½ cup cream until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into avocado mixture until well combined. Pour into pie plate. Chill for 3 hours, or overnight.
3. Before serving, whip remaining ½ cup cream with remaining 1 tbsp honey until soft peaks form. Dollop over pie. Sprinkle with additional lime zest and coconut chips (if using).
