This Raw Key Lime Pie Is the Perfect Summer Dessert

0 · May 29, 2017 ·

A few years ago, I tried going on a raw food diet for a month. Tried because it only lasted a week—I love cooked food, y’all. I mean, I like raw food too, but after a while, I just wanted something warm and I didn’t even care what it was. But I did get something good out of it: I learned that raw desserts are ridiculously delicious. Not even in a “meh, this is acceptable for something that’s vegan and uncooked,” but delicious as in “I’d totally choose to eat this even if there was a brownie sitting on the plate next to it.” And raw desserts are full of healthy fats too. Bonus!

This Raw Key Lime Pie Is the Perfect Summer Dessert
This Raw Key Lime Pie Is the Perfect Summer DessertMany raw desserts rely on soaked and pureed cashews to achieve a rich, creamy texture, but this Raw Key Lime Pie uses a combination of coconut oil, ripe avocados, full-fat coconut milk, and fresh lime juice to make a luxurious, tart filling. While some raw desserts can be a little bit complicated, this one is a breeze to make—blitz the crust ingredients in your food processor, press them into a pie tin, then whip up the filling in your blender. Pour the filling into the crust, pop the pie in the freezer, and it’s done. Easy!

This recipe is from The Blossom Cookbook by Ronen Seri and Pamela Elizabeth. Blossom is an iconic vegan restaurant known for its innovative food—and now you can make some of Blossom’s best recipes right in your own kitchen. I’ve bookmarked the Trumpet Mushroom Calamari, Sweet Potato Coconut Curry, and Pistachio-Crusted Tofu to put on my dinner meal plan soon, but there are a few incredible dessert recipes too. Vegan German Chocolate Cake? Yes please!
