Yeah I have a Sweet Tooth, so what?

  • I'm still yet to research why is it that when one is stressed the only thing that just seems to make sense is to EAT something greasy or sweet... I personally run straight to the local bakery (which is unfortunately just a walking distance!). But today I decided to research some "healthy treats" for my sweet tooth and found great recipes of "HEALTHY RAW SNACK!!" ... And ohhhhh man I am glad.. they are just mouthwatering!!! Here is one for you fellow sweet toothies

    Berry Maca Pie



    Base: 2 cups macadamia nuts,

    1 cup almonds,

    1 cup dates, soaked at least 30 minutes then drained,

    1/2 cup desiccated coconut.

    Place nuts and dates in food processor and blend until a sticky crumb like consistency. Sprinkle dried coconut on bottom of 8-inch pie pan with a removable base. Press macadamia nut mixture onto coconut.

    Filling: 2 cups cashews, 6 tablespoons coconut oil (gently warmed), ¼ cup lime juice, ½ cup agave nectar or honey, 1 tablespoon vanilla essence, 6 tablespoons water.

    2-3 cups mixed berries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
    Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth and well combined.

    Pour mixture onto base and freeze 1 to 2 hours, or until firm. Remove from freezer, slice while frozen, and transfer to serving platter. Defrost in fridge 1 hour or on countertop 30 minutes; top with berries; and serve.

    Enjoy!!!
  • Looks delicious! How did it taste?
  • That looks awesome!! Yummm! Yeah, tell us how did it taste ?
  • I was about to pooh pooh this until I read the ingredients.

    Awesome.

    You should eat that every day.

    My only suggestion (from someone that loves the stuff) would be to ditch the honey.
  • @IanG you will be glad to know that I didn't use honey at all, I usually use xylitol liquid when I bake... I have been meaning to ask someone here if they also uses xylitol liquid as a sweetener and if its bad in the long run!
  • This pie tastes like heaven and I love the healthy ingredients... We have different taste-buds so some might not like it. I loved the taste! There is no actual "baking" so I highly recommend yal to just try it.
  • Xylitol, even in tiny quantities, will kill a dog. So it's not allowed in my house for fear that my dogs would get ahold of it or something made with it.
  • Oh wow, the picture looks yummy! I hope to reach the point soon when just a photo won't get me so excited about food. Thanks for the recipe. I am going to save it.
