Berry & Cream Pie
Crust
- 2 cups rolled oats or walnuts
- 1 1/2 cups dates or raisins
Cream
- 2 cups cashews or young coconut meat
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch Himalayan salt
- Water, as needed
Topping
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
- Anything else you like
To make the crust: process the oats or walnuts into flour in a blender or food processor. If you’re using a food processor, add in the dates or raisins and process until it all sticks together. If you’re using a blender, dump the oat flour into a bowl and combine the dates and oat flour together with your hands until it all is evenly gooey. This will take a few minutes and you will have to get your hands a bit dirty. Press this “dough” into a pie dish and put in the fridge.
To make the cream: blend everything together until it’s smooth and thick, adding water as needed. You want it to be the texture of a thick yogurt. Pour this into your crust and leave in the fridge for three hours or preferably overnight. Decorate with berries and enjoy!
