Chocolate and lime aren't a flavor combo you come across often, but this ice cream pie is proof that it should happen more often. A sweet, creamy coconut and lime ice cream pie nestled in a rich, chocolatey almond crust. The flavors balance each other and the result is a cool, creamy, and refreshing summer treat.

How to Prepare Coconut Lime Ice Cream Pie With Chocolate Crust [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- To make this ice cream pie, you will need a 7-inch springform pan and an ice cream maker.
- Combine all the ice cream filling ingredients except the salt and rum in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and either transfer to a heat-safe blender or blend in the pan with an immersion blender for about 30 seconds. Stir in the salt and rum if using. Transfer to a storage container and set aside to cool.
- Combine all the crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse until they're a well-combined, sticky rubble. Lightly grease a 7-inch springform pan and press the crust into the bottom. Refrigerate until needed.
- Refrigerate the ice cream mix when it's lukewarm. Let chill 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Churn the ice cream according to your machine's directions. Spread over the crust and freeze until set, 2-3 hours. Store in the freezer.

Thanks to this page I want to try and become at least a vegetarian, yes I know this is mostly for vegans, yes I know animal products are horrible but at least I won’t be eating meat so don’t dig into me, my question is, are their any reliable websites that could tell me what I would need to go vegetarian while not becoming unhealthy or ill that isn’t obviously antivegan/vegetarian but isn’t so vegan/vegetarian that they over sell everything you know? It’s hard to find a factual website that lets you know how to meet your dietary needs to be healthy as a vegetarian. Thank you to any who answer that is experienced or living the life style
Thank you so much I will definitely look into I try not to stress to much :)
