• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the crust: In a food processor, combine the raw almonds, pitted medjool dates, shredded unsweetened coconut, and sea salt.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture until it is coarse and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch tart pan.

Step 4

Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

For the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, fresh lime juice, lime zest, maple syrup, and cornstarch.

Step 6

Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of turmeric for color, if using.

Step 8

Pour the lime filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours or until the filling is set.

Step 10

Once set, garnish with additional lime zest or coconut if desired, then serve chilled.
