Key Lime Avocado Pie
This Key Lime Pie is a refreshingly sweet and tart tropical dessert that wins over everyone's tastebuds! And it's so easy to create! No cream, no eggs, no butter, and no processed graham crackers. A creamy tart and sweet lime pudding sits atop a sweet walnut and oat crust. I have always loved creamy Key Lime Pie, but could not give in to my cravings because of the butter and cream. Fresh avocados with a splash of coconut milk are the secret to this much-loved traditional recipe.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients

- 1 cup pitted dates

Instructions
- To make the crust, pulse the crust ingredients into a food processor to form a coarse meal that has started to come together. Press into a 9-inch tart or pie pan. Set aside.
- To make the filling, put the filling ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Be sure to blend until the mixture is completely combined, creating a smooth and creamy pudding-like texture.
