Vegan Key Lime Pie
Jenelle Jackson
"This is a recipe I've fine-tuned to my vegan mother's taste, which is quite the challenge considering her strict diet. So far, no one has noticed the avocados until I tell them, and the looks on their faces are priceless. It's entirely guilt-free, and an easy way to trick your carnivorous friends and family into eating healthy! Garnish pie with shredded coconut, if desired."

- Cook's Notes:
- Any nut can be substituted for the almond meal. Walnut and macadamia nut have worked well for me in the past.
