This pie is bright green, cool, tart and refreshing…raw and Paleo! The avocado and coconut oil make it an exceptionally healthy option. You’ll never guess it’s based on avocado tasting it!
I tried several versions of this recipe and have melded different options into this one. I like to make 3-4 up in one batch and throw them into the freezer to have on-hand for guests. It has the nicest texture and is most refreshing when it is cut still partially frozen.
We prefer a nut crust, but if nuts are not an option for your family, substitute whatever crust you prefer.
