I had a few ladies from my Crossfit gym over last night and we had a blast! Most of them follow the Paleo Diet so I tried to find a recipe that would please everyone’s dietary needs. This pie looked really good so I decided to try it and I’m glad I did because it was delicious! Very rich but delish! Who would’ve thought to use avocados in a pie?!
This recipe uses a ton of limes so prepare yourself, I got quite a workout zesting them all!
Original recipe from Health Damy.
Crust Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Raw Cashews
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (a little extra to top it before serving too, if you wish)
- 1/2 Cup Pitted Dates
- 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp Lime Zest
- 3 Tbsp Lime Juice
- Dash of Salt
- 4 Packets of Stevia
- 2 Tbsp Agave (You can use maple syrup)
Mousse Ingredients:
- 4 Large Ripe Avocados (Pealed and Pitted)
- 1/2 Cup Lime Juice
- 1/3 Cup Lime Zest (You’ll need 8-10 limes for this entire recipe)
- 1/4 Cup Agave (or maple syrup)
- 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- Dash of Salt
- 8 Packets of Stevia
Directions:
- Place the crust ingredients in your food processor and blend until dough-like.
- Spray your 8 inch spring form pan with non-stick cooking spray – I’m sure any pan would work, really.
- Using your hands press the dough evenly into the pan.
- Place all mousse ingredients in your food processor and blend until smooth (stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides).
- Pour mousse over-top of crust.
- Chill in your refrigerator or freezer (depending on your desired texture) for at least 3 hours.
- Cut and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!










I use avocados in my chocolate mousse recipe so I’m not against avocados. I’ve never used them in a non-chocolate dessert. Was it reminiscent of key lime pie or just sort of a sweetened avocado pie? Just wondering, I could totally see myself making this.
I cannot wait to make this; however, can you tell me how much sugar or honey I would use in place of the stevia? Thank you
I’m not sure about honey but i found a stevia conversion:
1/4 tsp of stevia = 1Tbsp sugar
Hope that helps!!
Someone made a simlar pie for our party (could have been the same recipe). I twasn’t avocado-y at all! Very lime-y! I want to try it myself.
