Ingredients

Crust

1/2 cup pitted medjool dates
1 1/2 cup raw pecans
2 tbsp coconut oil melted
1/2 tsp sea salt

Key Lime Filling

2 cups raw cashews soaked for at least 2 hours to overnight
1/3 cup coconut oil melted
1/3 cup key lime juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp lime zest
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Before you begin, make sure the cashews are soaked for at least 2 hours.
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Add medjool dates to a food processor, and process until they are broken down into smaller bits.
Add the rest of the crust ingredients into the food processor and process until the ingredients are crumbly and stick together when you pinch it.
Press into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer and place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Drain the cashews and place all ingredients for the filling in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste to adjust sweetness or tartness. You can add more maple syrup or key lime juice if you like.
Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling on top. Spread out the filling evenly and tap the pan a few times on the counter to flatten it out.
Freeze for 3-4 hours until firm and completely set.
Remove from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
