un-cooking

thursday night was dessert night at my place: lots of lovely friends and one very yummy torte: here's how:

crust:
1 tsp veggie oil
1 c raw almonds
2 T raw honey
1 T raw peanut butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon

filling:
2 c raw cashews
2 tsp vanilla
2 T water
2 T raw honey
4 very ripe strawberries
a pinch of salt
1 tsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp melted coconut oil (optional for thickening)

topping:
assorted chopped strawberries and blueberries

for the crust:
in a blender grind the almonds into a fine meal. pour into a bowl. add the honey, peanut butter, and cinnamon and mix well until it's a sticky ball. press the pie-crust "dough" into the bottom of a lightly oiled glass pie pan.

filling:
rinse the cashews and soak for 5+ hours. rinse again.
blend the cashews with 2 T water, stirring frequently. add the other filling ingredients and blend well. it should be a thick pudding consistency. scoop into crust. top with chopped berries and refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2 hours.

enjoy!
this was a HUGE hit at my place. it slices so beautifully and tastes sooooooo good.
