Key Lime Pie or Ice Cream

I have a bucket of limes sitting on my counter so decided to revisit an old favourite healthy treat. If you like sweet/tart you will love this!

Raw Lime Cheesecake

Ingredients - Crust
1 ¼ cups macadamia nuts or 1 1/2 c almond total
1 ¼ cups pecans
3 ounces date paste (5 Medjool dates)
¼ tspn vanilla
1/8 tspn salt (Himalayan)
Combine all ingredients in food processor and process until there are no large chunks.
Press into lined spring form pan and refrigerate till needed.


Ingredients - Lime Filling
¾ cup lime juice (8 limes)*
½ cup honey
¼ cup coconut cream
1 cup avocado (2 medium)
2 tspns vanilla
1/8 tspn salt (Himalayan)
2 tablespoons soy lecithin
½ cup + 2 tblspns coconut oil (flavourless may be preferred)

Add all filling ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into prepared crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hrs or until set. (or freeze for about an hour and enjoy!)


For 'Ice Cream' skip the crust and place in a deep dish. Let it thaw slightly and it should scoop out like ice cream.

Freezes well and lasts a few weeks.

*This is very "limey." Just reduce the juice for a more subtle lime flavour. I have used bottle juice before and it’s good, but not as yummy as the fresh lime!
