I have a confession. I love popsicles and collecting popsicle molds. I have all shapes and sizes, including molds that will freeze popsicles within 9 minutes. After all, who can wait 6 hours for these fun fudgesicles when we can have them in 9 minutes!

Raw Strawberry Pie

by

The jasmine is in bloom and my garden is filled with orange blossom, grapefruit blossom, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Not to mention, my backyard chickens! I couldn’t help but bring in a piece of jasmine while I made my husband’s favorite dessert. Strawberry Pie! It’s made from fresh ingredients and only takes minutes to make.

  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.

  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.
