1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Place in freezer while you prepare the filling.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup coconut oil and all remaining ingredients in a high-power blender; process 2 minutes or until completely smooth. Pour lime mixture evenly into prepared crusts (about 21/2 tablespoons filling per crust). Return to freezer; chill 2 hours or until set. Lift each pie out of the muffin cup by the corners of parchment paper; garnish as desired.
