The combination of coconut and lime is great for itself, but the buckwheat in the crust makes it amazingly crunchy and a real fun treat to indulge in during these boiling hot days!

Preparation
-
- Place all the crust ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until you get a sticky crust (if it's too tough to combine, add 1-2 Tbsp of warm water).
- Take the crust and place it into your baking tin. Press the mixture evenly down with your hands and let it chill in the fridge.
- In the meantime, place all the filling ingredients into the blender and mix until combined. Taste the filling to see if you want to add more lime/ matcha).
