Almond Butter Icebox Pie (Paleo & Vegan + Keto option)
Silky dairy-free cream & smooth almond butter create a rich frozen dessert unlike any other! Made with only real-food ingredients. (Free from gluten/grains, refined sugar.
Add almonds to a food processor. Pulse a few times to break down. Add oil, salt and vanilla and pulse until finely ground.
Scoop 1 heaping Tbs to 10 silicone molds or foil cupcake wrappers (I used a cookie scoop) and press firmly. Chill crusts in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
To make the cream filling:
(Use a can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated for a minimum of 24 hours.) Scoop out the solid cream into a mixing bowl. If your cream is too hard, whip with a hand mixer first. Add remaining ingredients (except garnish) and whisk smooth. Taste and adjust for sweetness.
Top each crust with a scoop of cream filling. (I used an ice cream scoop) Tap tray on the counter several times and stir each pie to release air bubbles.
Freeze for about 2 hours to set. Garnish with melted chocolate, cacao nibs and almond slivers if you like.
Thaw on the counter for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. ENJOY! :)
