Can't get enough pie...key lime and strawberrye pies...

I made both of these delicious pies tonight. I made the strawberry pie to share w. my boyfriend Dave and my brother and his girlfriend. It was yummy. The key lime pie is for a raw food potluck that I am going to tomorrow afternoon. What can I say I am stuck on raw pies. They are sooooo good and easy to make and fun to garnish. Enjoy these recipes :).

Strawberry pie:

crust - 2 cups of almonds
1 cup of dates

filling - 1 cup of strawberries
2 cups of cashews
3 tablespoons of coconut butter
1 vanilla bean
2 tablespoons of water

Directions: process the almonds for the crust in the food processor until fine. Add the dates and process finally pressing the crust into your pie pan. For the filling add the strawberries and water to the bottom of your vitamixer, next add the rest of the ingredients and process until it is smooth. Pour the filling into the crust and chill in the fridge. Garnish the pie with sliced strawberries. Enjoy :)

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood. Share with friends and enjoy it!
