Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut oil - 30 grams, melted
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
• Salt - a pinch
• Cashews - 100 grams, soaked for 4 hours
• Key lime juice - 60 ml
• Coconut cream - 100 grams
• Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons (45 ml)
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to form a dough.
3. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of two small (4-inch) pie pans to create the crust.
4. Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
5. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a blender along with key lime juice, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and turmeric (if using).
6. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
