cup shredded coconut, toasted in a dry pan over low heat till browned
Pinch of salt

Filling
Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 1 hour.
2 avocados
frozen banana
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
Zest from 1 lime, organic
cup coconut milk, freeze can for 15 minutes, skim the fat and use that
cup coconut oil
Pinch of salt
2Tbsp. Or more of honey

Chocolate Drizzle
Ingredients:
cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
cup honey
cup coconut oil
tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
To make the crust, place 1 cup of cashews into the food processor, along with the dates, the toasted coconut, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly and moist.

Pour the mixture into a 9 inch pie plate and press it down with your clean hands. Form the crust up the edges of the pie plate and press it so it is firm.

Place all of the filling ingredients into a blender except the lime zest. So in goes the cashews, lime juice, avocado, coconut milk, coconut oil, and the honey and a pinch of salt. Blend until the filling is creamy and smooth. Taste it and adjust your ingredients, adding more honey if needed.

Add the lime zest and stir it in.

Pour the mixture into your pie plate and refrigerate at least 1 hour before adding the chocolate drizzle.

In a sauce pan, add the coconut oil. If the oil has hardened, heat it over low heat on the stove. Once melted, whisk in the cocoa powder and add a pinch of salt. Continue to heat the pan over low heat and add the honey and the vanilla. Continue cooking until all the ingredients are well blended.

Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.

Spoon the chocolate into a quart size ziploc bag and seal the end. Take scissors and make a small snip off one of the corners of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over the pie.

Place the pie back in the refrigerator for another hour. This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and should be eaten within 2 days. Enjoy.
