maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave nectar

💰Cheaper: honey

Agave nectar offers a similar sweetness with a lower glycemic index.

coconut cream

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: heavy cream

Silken tofu provides creaminess with fewer calories.

cashews

🥗Healthier: macadamia nuts

💰Cheaper: peanuts

Peanuts are more affordable while still offering a creamy texture.

Soak cashews in water for at least 4 hours, then drain.

Blend soaked cashews with coconut oil, lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine crushed dates and almonds to form the crust.

Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a pie dish evenly.

Pour the cashew filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to set.

Once set, garnish with coconut flakes and lime zest before serving.
