Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 3/4 cup pitted medjool dates
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil melted and divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raw agave nectar
  • 2 tsp grated lime rind
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 oz silken tofu
  • 1 ripe peeled avocado

Instructions

  1. Line each of 12 muffin cups with a (5-inch) parchment paper square.

  2.  Combine pecans, coconut, dates, 11/2 tablespoons coconut oil, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until all ingredients are finely ground. The pecan mixture should easily stick together when squeezed. Divide pecan mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups (about 1-ounce pecan mixture per cup); press evenly along the bottom and slightly up sides of muffin cups to form each pie’s crust. Place in freezer while you prepare the filling.

  3.  Combine remaining 1/2 cup coconut oil and all remaining ingredients in a high-power blender; process 2 minutes or until completely smooth. Pour lime mixture evenly into prepared crusts (about 21/2 tablespoons filling per crust). Return to freezer; chill 2 hours or until set. Lift each pie out of the muffin cup by the corners of parchment paper; garnish as desired.

  4. ** To garnish, top each pie with a dollop of whipped cream, a thin lime slice, and shaved coconut flakes.
