Mini Lemonade Pies

Makes 8 mini pies

Ingredients

Crust

• 1/3 cup oat flour
• ¾ scoop vanilla protein powder (see note)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoon water

Pie Filling

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 5 oz. plain cream cheese
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• ¼ cup xylitol (see note)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1.  Place 8 silicone cupcake liners on a flat, freezer friendly dish and set aside.

2.  Combine crust ingredients together in a small bowl and mix until well combined and crumbly. Press about 1 tablespoon of crust into each silicone liner, flattening down with your fingers, until all liners are filled with crust.

3.  Add all of the pie filling ingredients to a blender or food processor. Mix until smooth.

4.  Evenly pour pie filling into each cupcake liner until each liner is about 2/3 full.

5.  Place pies in the freezer for at least two hours. When ready to serve, remove pies from freezer and liner. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

• Look for a vanilla protein powder made of wholesome ingredients, like this plant-based organic vanilla protein powder.
• Replace xylitol with coconut sugar for a recipe free of refined sugar.
