Raw Key Lime Pie

MMMMmmmmm.......there's nothing like a dessert that's good for you and there's no guilt afterwords. This pie is so simple and can last for a week in the fridge or stick it in the freezer for longer. To make crust just use a Cuisinart to grind up a cup of pecans, a cup of almonds, and then 1 1/2 cups of soaked dates with some vanilla extract. Mix them all together by hand in a bowl and press into a pie pan or tart shell. Then in a Vitamix blender mix until creamy - 4 c soaked cashews, 1/2 c agave, 1/2 c coconut oil, and 1 c key lime juice. (yes there is bottled key lime juice available for those who have actually juiced 30 of those tiny freaking things and cramped up your hand for days, but that's a story for another time) or you can use regular limes.....anyhew, pour onto pie crust and chill over night. Best served with raspberries or blueberries. And make your slices are thin since it can be quite filling. Enjoy :)
