This is a delicious warm weather dessert made with fresh, ripe berries. Because it is made with whole food ingredients, you don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying a slice. This is the time of year that berries are in great abundance, so their flavors are perfectly sweet and their nutrients are high. I had purchased a bunch of organic berries from the market so I could make a delicious dessert for the family, I just wasn’t sure what I was going to make yet. I finally decided on pie and am so glad that I did because it came out super good! It’s cold, sweet, tangy, and nutritious. You get protein from the almonds and cashews, tons of vitamin C from the strawberries, antioxidants from the blueberries and raspberries, fiber, potassium, and high levels of phytochemicals to help protect your cells from damage. Berries also keep you mentally sharp, boost heart health, and make us feel full. Why not have a dessert that not only tastes delicious, but is nutrient dense too!
Ingredients
- For the filling
- 2 1/2 cups raw cashews
- 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup coconut butter
- juice of one lemon (about 2-3 tbsp)
- For the crust
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup coconut flakes(not sweetened)
- 10 medjool dates

- 3 medjool dates
- 2 cups mixed berries(raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
- You will also need an extra 2 cups of fresh blueberries and raspberries
- **Please buy organic berries if possible, they are on the dirty dozen list of most highly sprayed crop*
Instructions
- For the crust, add all of the ingredients to your food processor and processor until everything is crumbly and sticky. Line a 9″ spring form pan with parchment paper, bottom and sides. Place the crumbly mixture into the pan and press to form a crust. Set aside
- Soak the raw cashews for at least 6 hrs and then rinse well and add to your high speed blender(if you do not have a high speed blender, a food processor will work).
- Add the 2 1/2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries to the blender
- Next add the maple syrup, the oil, the butter, and the lemon juice
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture into your prepared pie crust.
- Next, evenly spread the 2 cups of mixed berries to the top.
- To make the glaze, add the berries and the dates to your high speed blender and been until smooth. Pour over the top of the pie. You will need to allow this pie to set in the refrigerator for at least 8 hrs to set, so plan ahead.
- Enjoy!
