The Allen Family Blog: April 2010

Crust:
2 cups macadamia nuts
1.5 cups coconut flakes
3 cups pitted dates
Blend all of these things in a blender or food processor. Mold the crust into pie pans.

Filling:
5 avocados, peeled and pitted
2 cups lime juice (as fresh as you can get it)
1 1/2 cups agave nectar (light, not dark)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (this holds the shape)

Blend it all together and pour it in the crust. Then, just refrigerate for about 20 minutes and its done.

The pie filling should have the consistency of a smooth key lime pudding. The more coconut oil you add, the more firm the pie filling will be, but the more it will taste like coconut, so keep that in mind. Garnish with a few slices of fresh limes. Enjoy!

They have forsaken the covenant of their God, and they are asking us to serve other gods.

They must be called out of their idolatry into the service of the living God.'' -RJ Rushdoony
