DESSERT!

I made up a really REALLY good recipe today!  My brother mentioned key lime pie and I got really obsessed.
Because I am a recent Chia initiate I thought I might try using a similar recipe to the coconut mango dessert that I made the other day.

Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie

For the filling:

Juice of 6 key limes (the little ones)
zest of 3 key limes
Juice of 1 medium lemon
5 Tbs raw honey (or to taste)
1/4 c. coconut cream
add coconut milk to bring the liquid amout to 1 1/2 cups
6 Tbs. dry chia seeds
5 Tbs. shredded coconut.

Whisk all ingredients together and let sit on counter for 30 mins.  Whisk again and put in fridge for a couple of hours.

For the crust:

In the food processor put:

1 c. pecans
1/4 c. unsweetened coconut
6 or 7 dates (depending on size)

Blast it on high until it makes a crumbly, sticky consistency.  If it is not quite sticky enough, you can add a sprinkle of water and zip it up.  Pat the mixture evenly into a medium baking pan.  If it is wet you can put it into a 100 degree oven for a bit to dry out.

When it is completely cool you can dump the filling straight on top or blend the filling first to make a smoother consistency.  Top with whipped coconut cream or sprinkled coconut.

NOM!  NOM!  NOM!
