Hi

Does anyone have an idiot proof recipe for a key lime pie? Away from simple salads etc and I'm not so competent - so do you have something that's pretty straightforward?

I don't have a dehydrator, so I'd be looking to make one with a chilled base instead.

Help pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

Thanks so much, love n light,
Gill

Key limes, dates and avocado blended and poured into a nut and date crust.

I actually have been thinking about a pie like this too lately.

I know I have seen the recipe somewhere. I bet if you look on goneraw.com you will find one.

Hey VG!

My beloved book has one..

Filling:
3/4 c lime juice
1/2 cup agave (i use stevia my pies..but of course not that much!)
1/4 c. coconut milk
1 cup avaocado
2 tsp liquid vanilla
1/8 tps salt
2 tbs lecithin (i use raw, soy non gmo)
1/2 c + 2 tbs coconut oil

Mix all of this together..put in freezer to set for a couple of hours then refridgerate.

The crust is both macadamia nuts and pecans and some date paste, salt and vanilla.

I've never make this but when I do I'll post a pic of course!

Good luck..hope I'm not too late

Thanks so much..........once I've tried it out (very soon I hope!) I'll make sure I post a pic.

Oh yes VeganDiva! Put a pic on!
Now you have me interested in making one!
Oh lets!

OH did you make it? how does it taste?

I've not had chance to make it yet....but it'll be soon. I think I'll start dreaming about lime pies soon if I don't get on with it - I can't wait!

xx

okay kids...i'm waiting for my irish moss to do it's thing in the fridge overnite so i can add a creamy topping to the pie. since i love me a nice pie perhaps i can make a chocolate mousse while i wait since my son has requested one (and he is a good boy)
and BTW...i dream of pies all the time! chocolate, lime, banana cream......
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

hmmm makes me think of the Pie song from the movie Michael

[www.youtube.com]

Artist - Michael soundtrack
Album - Michael
Lyrics - Pie Song

I love love LOVE the pie song. Now I can dream about pies, but with a soundtrack too! xx

OK, I made this, and it was.....delish!!! So limey, but so creamy n rich. I loved it. And so did my husband - it didn't last long.

I did take photos but I'm not sure how to upload them....

xx

Oh Hey VeganDiva! Here you are over here! Hey..go to tinypic.com and you can load a pic there they copy/paste it into here. Is that too vague? If you need more deets lemme know. My kid taught me. I NEED TO SEE YOUR PIE!

So here's my lime pie! Okay so I know it looks like my other pies but DANG what a taste sensation! Tangy and sweet and the macademia/pecan crust went so good with it as well! I need a little practice with my icing decorating skills though!
I'm making cakes next!

Hey Jodi, We sing that song all the time. That is one of my husband's favorite movies.

That pie looks so good!!!!

hehe me too im singing it now .. cuz my oh my look at that pie !!

i love the movie too .. when Michael the angel comes downstairs in his underwear doing a little dance lol.. hilarious

Mmmveg your pie looks terrific! I still need to tweak mine, but boy, it was just what I needed/wanted. Do you have any other fillings that you really really like (and I can try to copy!)?

Now then, I'm still having difficulties knowing how to put a pic up. I've gone to tinycurl, but am not sure what to do. Sorry! Believe me, I'm usually far more computer literate than this! Tips welcome.

Have a fabulous day xx

Hi VeganDiva,

Did you go to tinypic.com, or tinyurl.com? You can upload your photos to different sites, then you can link to the photos. Picasa and Flikr are famous services for uploading photos, but tinypic.com looks like the easiest one so far. You need to provide an image file, any tags you want to add, and after you upload the file it will give you code for using the image. The second code offered, "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards", is the one you will want to copy and paste into your forum post.

VeganDiva..Hi!


Here's a step by step to load your pic

name your photo (of your pie) and know where it is

go to www.tinypic.com

over to the right where it says FILE click on browse and then click on your pie pic

Choose image in FILE TYPE

Just to make sure your pic will be the right size...On the resize part click MESSAGE BOARD (640 x 480) then click UPLOAD

After its finished uploading, click on IMG Code for Forums (this will highlight it in black)

Type Ctrl & C simultaneously (this will copy it)

LAST STEP:
Go to the message box (where you'll be posting your pic) and type Ctrl & v simultaneously (this will drop your pic). Keep in mind that your pic won't appear as a pic yet until you preview or post.

If you need more help lemme know k? Oh and I'll check out my pie section in my desserts book and get some more "pideas"!! heh heh. I want to make raw cakes

Here we go....my key lime pie, made last weekend with love. I'm a pieaholic now!!

Mmmveg - how did you make the filling for your's it looks lighter n fluffier than mine. Your pies rock! (I hope I'm not getting pie envy?!) And thanks for the tips on uploading pics - easy peasy!

OH WOW!! Love the pic! Pretty! Nice staging! I'm impressed my fellow pie making friend! LOVELY!

I think your pie looks floofy! It just looks like I have more filling in mine?
I blended mine up in my vitamix. How bout you?

I like your cute like goji's? on top! And do I see some lime zest? You creative little thing you!
My mouth is watering!

Oh and a nice pie would be a lemon meringue! Okay thats my next one. How about banana cream?

Ahhhh thanks Mmmveg. It is a little lime zest on top, well spotted. And I can never resist a bit of goji action - I arranged goji 'flowers' all over it.

I don't have a vitamix, so mine's done with a food processor.

Lemon, banana, I'm lovin it all. Make sure you keep me up to date with your pie making antics and piedeas. I've been a bit scared of pie making but now I've embraced it I want to keep goin' with it!

Enjoy your day x

I have been "raw" for about 2 months now and have been introducing live food to my friends & associates. I have been looking for this recipe for awhile because I'm putting on a Mexican theme dinner for 8 this Friday the 22nd.

Can you please tell me the quantity of ingrediaents that go into the crust and any special instructions?

Thanks..Rawsumvoyager

hi rawsum!
sure! this is what my book says:
1 1/4 c. macadamias
1 1/4 c. pecans
3 oz date paste
1/4 tsp liquid vanilla
1/8 tsp salt

process all ingredients and press into the bottom and up the sides of pie dish/tin.

side note: making date paste isn't necessary to making crusts..i usually just use soft dates or soaked dates if the dates are firm. if you'd like to make date paste just blend dates with a bit of water until smooth.

good luck and lemme know if you need more help!

Thanks Jennifer,

I am going to try this recipe before I make it for my guests next Friday. Don't want to be standing there with pie on my face! Or do I?

Will let you know how it goes.

best Wishes...Robert
