- ¾ cup coconut oil [2], melted
- ¾ cup agave nectar

- ¼ teaspoon vanilla [3], optional
To prepare crust:
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until everything resembles crumbs. Press into the bottom of a spring form pan with a spoon.
To prepare the filling:
Place all ingredients into a blender (not food processor). Blend until smooth and thick, adding small amounts of water if necessary.
Pour filling ingredients over crust. Cover and freeze for 2 hours then store uncovered in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove the sides of the pan and serve. If not completely devoured, place leftover pie in the freezer.
