Lemon pie

a variation of raw key lime pie from http://www.picklesnhoney.com/2015/10/28/raw-vegan-key-lime-pie-recipe/

Crust
Grind each separately in blender cup (unless it all fits) then put in pie pan to mix with hands

• 1/2 c almonds
• 1/2 c pecans
• 1 c dried dates
• 1/4 c flax seed meal

After mixing ground mixture with hands pour across ground mixture

• 1 T coconut oil

Then mix again, press against sides and bottom to make pie shell. Put in freezer while you make filling.

Filling
Grind in blender before adding rest of ingredients to blender

• 2 c cashews*

Then add and blend till smooth and creamy. Mixture may thicken.

• 3/4 c fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
• 1/2 c maple syrup
• 1/3 c melted coconut oil
• 1 t vanilla extract

Pour filling into crust and freeze. Slightly thaw before cutting.
Makes 12 slices.

*Tried using garbanzo beans beans because cashews are very expensive. Worked OK but filling tasted like beans. Beans are probably better for cookies.
