Key Lime Pie
Crust: Option, use this crust for gluten free and naturally sweetened
1 1/4 C graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve of graham crackers)
1/4 C butter, melted

1/4 C coconut oil
3-4 limes, juiced (1/2 cup)
1 T lime zest
1/3-1/2 C agave or maple syrup
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F line a pie pan with parchment paper or a regular muffin tin with paper liners (muffin tin if you want to do smaller, individual pies)
- In a food processor, grind graham crackers into a fine meal, then add melted butter and pulse to combine.
- Press evenly into pie pan or muffin cups and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. . Remove and let cool.
- Add all filling ingredients to a blender and process until creamy and smooth. Adjust flavors as needed for more tartness or sweetness.
- Pour filling over the crust and tap to eliminate air bubbles. Top with a little more lime zest and cover loosely.
