Day 214: Punchy Lime Pie

It’s Lime Time

It’s time for a recipe, and with the temperature heating up here’s a cool recipe to beat that heat . . .

I found this recipe some time back—I don’t know where I got it and I’ve seen it floating around the internet—but it’s great and a family favorite:

Punchy Lime Pie

By Esther Hopper

Crust:

  • 2 cups soaked & drained almonds
  • 2 cups soaked & drained pecans
  • 2 cups dates

Filling:

  • About 6 medium bananas
  • The juice from 5 key limes (regular limes will also work)
  • About 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Blend crust ingredients together in a food processor, and press it onto the bottom and sides of a 9” pie plate or spring form cake pan.
  2. Blend filling ingredients in a blender, Vitamix, or food processor and pour the filling into the crusted pan.
  3. Freeze it until solid.

Find a cool place in the shade and enjoy a slice!
