Ingredients
  • CRUST:
  • 1¼ cups blanched slivered almonds
  • 1 cup dates, pitted
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsps. ground flaxseed
  • FILLING:
  • 2 cups sliced organic strawberries, layered on top of crust
  • 1 additional cup quartered organic strawberries (for sauce)
  • 4 dates, pitted
  • 1 Tbsp. raw honey
  • 2 tsps. ground flaxseed
Instructions
  1. CRUST:
  2. In a food processor, chop almonds until evenly ground. Add the dates and process until they are finely ground.
  3. Add water, vanilla, cinnamon, and ground flaxseed while processing.
  4. Immediately press the mixture into a 9″ pie plate. I often use the back of a spoon to help smooth and work the crust.
  5. FILLING:
  6. Layer 2 cups sliced organic strawberries upon crust.
  7. In food processor, combine 1 additional cup strawberries and 4 dates. Add honey.
  8. While the food processor is still running, gradually add flaxseed.
  9. When the mixture is thick and smooth, immediately pour over the layered fresh strawberries on crust. Using a spatula or spoon, smooth the strawberry puree' around and into the crevices between berries.
  10. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
  11. Best served same day.
  12. Note: It's a little messy getting the first slice out of the dish, but once you taste it, it won't matter.
