Ingredients
Crust
- 2 Cups Almond Flour
- 1 Cup Almond Butter
- 1 Cup Coconut Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
Pie Filling
- 6 Limes juice & zest
- 1 Can Coconut Milk unsweetened
- 1 Cup Cashews
- 3 Eggs
- 1 1/2 Cups Maple Syrup
Toppings
- Coconut Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, almond butter, coconut sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough. Press the dough evenly into a pie pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- While the crust cools, prepare the filling. In a food processor or blender—blend the cashews, fresh lime juice & zest, coconut milk, egg yolks, and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust. Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges should look firm, but the center can jiggle slightly—it will firm up as it cools.
- Let the pie cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better). This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. Before serving, top the pie with whipped coconut cream and garnish with extra lime zest for a pop of color! Enjoy!
