Raw Pecan Love Pie
Serves: 6
recipe by Kim Snyder of www.kimberlysnyder.net
Pecan pie always conjures up memories of being made and given with love. There is something very nurturing, and loving, about pecan pie!
Crust:
2 cups raw walnuts
2 cups raw dates pitted
1 cup flaked coconut finely ground
------------------------
Filling:
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil
1 cup raw pecans soaked 15 minutes
1 cup organic thompson raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon sea salt
Pit the dates yourself, extracting each pit and discarding them. Add the dates, coconut flakes and walnuts to your food processor and mix on high until thoroughly mixed.
Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie tray. Set to the side.
Blend all filling ingredients together in the blender until smooth. Pour onto the crust of the tray, and garnish with fresh, raw pecans.
Set in freezer overnight, or for at least 5 hours before serving. Slice up and share with loved ones!
