The other night we made a raw key-lime pie! DELICIOUS! I kept thinking about putting it into the oven, but I realized it was raw, so you just make it, and then you eat it! It was tart, but sweet, all organic, all raw, and all yummy.
The crust was made of macadamia nuts, dry shredded coconut, lime zest, lime juice, and a little agave. It had a texture similar to a rice crispy treat, and tasted sweet, lime-y, and had a slightly nutty flavor. I liked it, and it went perfectly with the filling, yum!
The filling was made of 5 mashed avocados, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla bean, and stevia. First, we mashed the avocados, and put them in with the lime juice and zest, and the avocados totally took on the lime flavor. We puree'd those, and then put in the vanilla. We couldn't find actual vanilla bean extract, but we found vanilla beans! So, we sliced them open, and with a knife, scraped out the insides and put them with our avocados. Then, we added a bit of stevia. It tasted sweet, yet tart, so like bittersweet, and yummy! I loved it, and it went perfectly with the crust, so, this raw dessert was AWESOME in my book!
