Bluberry pie with fresh fruits

I love this combination of flavours and colours. I know that blueberry taste the best in Jun but sometimes is so difficult to wait till then:-). So sometimes I  buy and make delicious dessert like this one. I made a small pie and a few jar size desserts for breakfast. Yes this pie you can serve morning or evening if you like. 

The pie is 100% raw, vegan and gluten free, totally healthy type of treats, so make one for yourself and for a family:-)

 

Ingredients for the crust:

300 g pitted dates soaked in hot water for 30 minutes 

100 g any favourite nuts, I used peanuts 

20 g coconut oil, melted

 

Ingredients for the filling:

250 g blueberries

200 g cashew nuts, soaked overnight 

100 g coconut oil, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract 

2 tbs rice syrup 

 

Process all the ingredients for the crust in a food processor with an S-blade.

Transfer the crust mixture to a 20 cm loose-based tart tin. Using a spun press the mixture evenly into the base of the tin and half way up the side.

To prepare the filing, blend all the ingredients in a high- speed blender until smooth and creamy.

Pour the filling into shaped crust and shake the tin to even out the filling.

Put tin to a frige and refrigerate for 5 hours.

Serve with fresh fruits

 

Raw food, sun dry tomatoes burgers

Very moreish and surprisingly very good tasted burgers. I couldn't believe that a raw food, deferent than salad, vegetables or fruits can taste delicious. So I checked and I'm so happy that I did it. When me and my husband tried we both thought that they really tasted like a traditional burgers:-).
You have to try and see for your self, the only thing you'll need is dehydrator or oven with low temperature settings, and a little time:-)
