Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

Crust:
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve graham crackers)
1/4 cup (4Tbsp) vegan butter, melted (such as Earth Balance)
Filling:
1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4-6 hours (or overnight), then drained
3/4 cup light or full fat coconut milk, well shaken
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
3-4 large limes or 6-7 key limes (1 Tbsp zest, 1/2 cup juice)
1/3 - 1/2 cup agave nectar (depending on preferred sweetness)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners. Add graham crackers to a food processor and process until you achieve a fine meal. Then add melted butter and pulse to combine. Distribute evenly among muffin tins and press down with a glass or spoon to flatten. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside to cool. Add all filling ingredients to a blender and blend on high (or liquify) until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime zest/juice for more tart, or more agave for added sweetness. Pour filling into muffin tins and tap on counter to release air bubbles. Top with a bit more lime zest and loosely cover. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer for 10-15 minutes to thaw before serving. Will keep covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, though best when fresh.
