Key Lime Pie Bites Ingredients:

70g Macadamia nuts, raw or dry roasted

70g Sunflower seeds, raw and shelled

3 tbsp lime juice

35g Sweetener of choice: Swerve for low carb, or coconut sugar for paleo

35g Unsweetened coconut milk

1 tbsp coconut flour

 

Directions:

In a food blender mix all the coating ingredients.  Pulse until a coarse, grainy flour forms.  Pour coating mixture into a bowl and set aside.

In the food blender add all the key lime pie bite ingredients and pulse until a thick and creamy nut butter or hummus-like texture forms.

Grease or oil an ice cube tray. Fill the ice cube tray with the creamy key lime pie mixture.

Freeze the ice cube tray with key lime pie mixture for 30 to 40 minutes, or until solid and firm.

Remove key lime pie bites from the tray, and roll them in the pie crust coating in the bowl.

Keep in your freezer in a container, as they don’t get hard frozen and stay firm but creamy.  They will keep for a few weeks.
