Ingredients

• Crust
• 4 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 cups almonds (I soak them overnight and re-dry them to reduce phytic acid.)
• 2 cups shredded coconut or coconut flakes
• 1 cup pitted dates (I like to soak them overnight and re-dry them to reduce natural sugars.)
• Filling
• 1 cup cream (raw is optimal, pasteurized organic is an option - avoid ultra pasteurized)
• 1 cup milk or yogurt (raw milk is optimal, organic yogurt is an option)
• 2 egg yolks (pastured, organic eggs are optimal)
• 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1 tablespoon gelatin (grass fed is optimal. I like [url undefined]Great Lakes[/url])
• sweetener of choice (I use 1/4 cup non-GMO xylitol - other options include a lesser amount of stevia or 1/4 cup raw honey)

Instructions

1. Process crust ingredients in food processor.
2. Press into 12 X 14 glass pan or 2 pie plates.

3. Prepare Ice Cream.
4. Lightly beat egg yolks. ( I use stick blender - whisk works too.)
5. Add milk,cream, lime juice and lime zest.

6. Blend thoroughly.
7. Add gelatin and whisk again. (You may heat the mixture on low setting to be sure this blends fully. I find the stick blender does an adequate job.)
8. Pour into ice cream maker and process according to directions.

9. Spoon onto crust and freeze again until ready to serve.
10. If desired, add a spoonful of freshly whipped cream.
