FROZEN MOJITO PIE [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CRUST:

• 2 cups almonds
• 1 1/4 cups pitted dates
• A pinch of sea salt
• A splash of water, to help blend

FOR THE FILLING:

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup maple syrup, to taste
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup mint leaves, to taste
• Extra lime slices, zest, and mint, for garnishing
• Whipped coconut cream, for serving (optional)

PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE CRUST:

1. Pulse ingredients together in a food processor until sticky crumbles form. Add a splash of water to help it come together.
2. Press into a standard size pie plate.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:

1. Add avocados to a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Add in remaining ingredients, to taste.
3. Pour over crust and set in the freezer for about 4 hours to firm up.
4. Thaw on the counter for 30-45 minutes. Garnish however you like, slice and serve immediately.

NOTES

Keep pie frozen. Thaw at room temperature to desired consistency to serve. Can be served slightly frozen or thawed, depending on the texture you like.

Add whipped cream just before serving. I used 1 can of full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight (the solid cream only). Whip with 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
