Ingredients
  

Tart Crust

  • 2 cups Kodiak Honey Bear Bites (or any gluten free graham cracker) (1 1/2 cups crushed)
  • 1/2 cup butter (for dairy free use coconut oil or dairy free butter) melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Key Lime Filling

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 6 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk (solidified cream at top of can*)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup key lime juice (or lime juice)
  • 1 tablespoon zest of key lime (about 2 key limes or 1 regular lime)
  • 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder or drop of green food coloring for coloring (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Soften your cashews for the tart filling. Soak your cashews in boiling water for about 15 minutes, then drain.
  • Put 2 cups of Kodiak Honey Bear Bites into food processor and process into crumbs (should have 1 1/2 cups of crumbs).
  • In a large bowl, mix the crushed bear bites, melted butter, and sugar until combined.
  • Press the mixture into a greased 9" springform pan. You can also use a tart pan or a pie pan.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and then let cool.
  • While the crust is baking, start the key lime filling. Add cashews into a blender or food processor with coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, and (optional) matcha powder or food coloring.
  • Blend until completely smooth.
  • Pour the filling on top of the cooled crust and refrigerate for 2 hours before eating.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*I just scoop the solidified cream at the top of the can into the blender. It will be about 6 Tbsp, but I don't usually measure
