When Tiina shared with us her healthy key lime pie recipe we were so excited that we had to jump straight into the kitchen and give it a go. Needless to say, the outcome was amazing, so we’ve asked Tiina if we could share the recipe on the blog and we received a resounding yes…result! We hope you like this one as much as we do!

INSTRUCTIONS

Pie crust: Blend all pie crust ingredients until the dough can be rolled into a ball.

Roll into an even thin layer and put in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

 • • • •

Whipped coconut cream: Scoop out creamy stiff part from the coconut milk can and using a hand mixer blend cream with the sweetener and vanilla until fluffy. Add a pinch of spirulina with a spoon and swirl it to make a pretty minty color.

 • • • •

Key lime chia pudding: Blend all pudding ingredients well with a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more sweetener or lime if needed.

Divide the pudding in half, and put the first half in the fridge.

Meanwhile, mix ⅛ tsp spirulina into the other half of the pudding. Taste and add more sweetener if needed. Put pudding into the fridge for about 10-30 minutes.

 • • • •

Assembling the key lime pie chia pudding: Prepare the pie crust first by cutting the crust into tiny squares. I used about ½ of the crust for 2 puddings.

Take two small jars and start layering: 1.pie crust 2.pudding 3.pie crust 4.pudding 5.pie crust 6.coconut cream

Add lime pieces and coconut flakes on top and ENJOY!

NOTES

*Preparation of the whipped coconut cream: keep a coconut milk can in the fridge at least overnight to separate the creamy part from the watery part. Use only the creamy part for the whipped cream.
