Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form a crust.
- Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, coconut milk, and maple syrup until well mixed and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth filling.
- Combine: Pour the key lime mixture over the prepared crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.
- Freeze: Place the pie in the freezer and let it set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Once set, slice the pie and serve cold, garnished with lime slices for an extra touch if desired.
Notes
Use fresh key limes for better flavor. Adjust maple syrup for sweetness preference.
