Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

zest 1 lime plus a few thin slices to decorate (optional)
225g pitted dates soaked for 4-6 hrs if too dry
100g walnuts
45g desiccated coconut
30g cacao powder (see tip)
1 tsp salt (Tanya uses Himalayan salt)
200g cashew nuts soaked for 4-6 hrs
240ml lime juice (juice of about 8 limes)
1 ½ ripe avocados
½ ripe mango
210g coconut oil melted
110g agave nectar

Steps:

Whizz all the crust ingredients in a food processor with an S-blade. Transfer the mixture to a 23cm loose-based tart tin. Using your fist, press the mixture evenly into the base and sides of the tin.
To prepare the filling, blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender on a high-speed setting, or pulse in a basic blender until smooth and creamy.
Pour the filling onto the crust and shake the tin a little to even it out. Chill for a minimum of 3 hrs to set. Decorate with the lime zest and slices, if you like. Will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Defrosted in the fridge, it will keep for 1 week.

GREAT KEY LIME PIE (VEGAN, BUT YOU'D NEVER GUESS IT!)

Great Key Lime Pie (Vegan, but You'd Never Guess It!) image

This pie is so rich and decadent it almost tastes more like a key lime cheesecake! I made it for a Caribbean-themed party without telling what was in it and everyone raved about it! I'm not even a vegan and I plan on making this one frequently. I got the recipe from VegWeb.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (12 1/3 ounce) package mori-nu firm silken tofu (I use lite)
8 ounces soy cream cheese
1/2 cup key lime juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime rind
2 (4 ounce) packages mori-nu mates vanilla pudding mix (must be this brand, it's made to go with the tofu)
1 tablespoon liquid sweetener, to taste (I use honey but that's not vegan!)
1 (9 inch) baked pastry shells (I prefer graham) or 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust (I prefer graham)

Steps:

Drain any excess water from the tofu.
Blend tofu and lime juice in a processor or blender until creamy and smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients (except crust!), and blend again until smooth.
At this point, I had to transfer the mixture to a bowl and beat on high speed with an electric mixer, since it was too thick and stiff for my blender.
Pour the mixture into the crust and chill 2-3 hours or until firm.
This sets up very firm.
It also makes a great pudding or little tartlet filling for fancy desserts!
Note for those who try with other pudding mixes. Make sure your mix is Vegan. Commercial mixes can contain meat by products making them not Vegan or Vegetarian.
