Equipment
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ⅔ cups almond flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon date syrup
- ⅔ cup cassava flour
- ⅓ cup flaxseed
- 8 tablespoon cold water
For the filling:
- 2 cups raw pecans
- 2 cups medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon tapioca powder
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Begin by making your crust. Simply add all crust ingredients together and knead until you get a ball. In a nonstick, or greased pie dish ( I always use Chosen Foods 100% Avocado oil spray) press the dough into the pan. Poke randomly with a fork, and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- While the crust is in the oven, add your dates, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt to a saucepan and cook until boiling. When it starts to boil you will see that it becomes thicker and the dates break down. Once the dates are very soft and broken down, add the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Chop the pecans up into small pieces and add to the mixture. Pour the mixture into the crust, cover with tin foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and enjoy!
