Avocado Key Lime Pie. #ThrowbackThursday

Avocado Key Lime Pie. #ThrowbackThursday

🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

I whipped this recipe up last year around mid-December, so it is perfect for a #throwbackthursday. It is incredible how the avocado gets lost in the creamy sweet filling. Last year I used sweetened coconut condensed milk, but I switched it out for brown rice syrup on the recipe I posted today. 

Since I went vegan, my tastebuds have been on a rollercoaster of trying new flavors and ways to make old dishes differently. When you go vegan, your creativity for food grows, and you appreciate the food increase. Well, at least for me, it has. 

Check out the recipe below!
