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.

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
- CRUST:
- In a food processor, chop almonds until evenly ground. Add the dates and process until they are finely ground.
- Add water, vanilla, cinnamon, and ground flaxseed while processing.
- Immediately press the mixture into a 9″ pie plate. I often use the back of a spoon to help smooth and work the crust.
- FILLING:
- Layer 2 cups sliced organic strawberries upon crust.
- In food processor, combine 1 additional cup strawberries and 4 dates. Add honey.
- While the food processor is still running, gradually add flaxseed.
- 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.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
- Best served same day.
- Note: It's a little messy getting the first slice out of the dish, but once you taste it, it won't matter.
