Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Pie Recipes You can make delicious vegan pies using only raw foods! Not only will these pies be healthier for you, but they also will be more tasteful! To have the whole scoop on how to make the best pies, Divine Mango Pie Crust: 1 cup walnuts 2 cups soaked almonds 10-15 dates 2T orange juice Process all nuts in a food processor or a Champion juicer with no plate on. Add dates and keep homogenizing for a while if using a food processor. If using a Champion , process the dates and mix with grinded nuts by hand. Add orange juice to homogenize even better. Spread into a pie pan (glass preferable) evenly to form a crust and immediately set aside in the freezer. First Layer: 2 cups of very soft dates, pitted 2T pine nuts 2T sliced almonds 2T orange juice If you don't have very soft dates, you will need to soak your dates in water for one hour and drain them. Pit all the dates, mix all ingredients together and spread at the bottom of the pie. Second Layer: 3 Mangoes, peeled and sliced 6 very ripe apricots, seeded and chopped 10 strawberries, sliced very thin Mix all ingredients together and spread on top of the pie, over the date mixture. Topping: 2 cups macadamia nuts 1 cup coconut water 4T maple syrup or honey or maple syrup 1t vanilla Blend all ingredients together and pour on top of the pie. For a final touch, sprinkle with pine nuts, raisins and add fruits in the center Yam Pie Crust: 1 cup walnuts 2 cups soaked almonds 10-15 dates 2T orange juice Process all nuts in a food processor or a Champion juicer with no plate on. Add dates and keep homogenizing for a while if using a food processor. If using a Champion , process the dates and mix with grinded nuts by hand. Add orange juice to homogenize even better. Spread into a pie pan (glass preferable) evenly to form a crust and immediately set aside in the freezer. Yam Filling: 4 yams (medium to small size), peeled 1 avocado 1 cup of dates 3T honey or maple syrup 1t vanilla 1t cinnamon Cut the yams in pieces small enough to fit in a Champion juicer. Homogenize yams, avocado and dates in your Champion or Green Power juicer with the blank plate on. Add the rest of the ingredients. Fill in the pie pan evenly, and eat the excess. Top with fresh shredded coconut and slices of strawberries or other fruits. Apple Pie Crust: 1 cup walnuts 2 cups soaked almonds 10-15 dates 2T orange juice Process all nuts in a food processor or a Champion juicer with no plate on. Add dates and keep homogenizing for a while if using a food processor. If using a Champion , process the dates and mix with grinded nuts by hand. Add orange juice to homogenize even better. Spread into a pie pan (glass preferable) evenly to form a crust and immediately set aside in the freezer. Filling: 3 cups of shredded apples 1 cup of soaked raisins 1 1/2 cup of soaked cashews 1/4t Nutmeg 1/2t Cinnamon 1/2 cup of raisin soak water 2T maple syrup or honey Shred apples using a hand-shredder or a food processor. Place 3 cups of shredded apples aside in a bowl. Mix in the raisins. The raisins have to be soaked in advance. I recommend soaking one cup. Cover them with water in a bowl. They will almost double in size when soaked, but you can use the extra for other purposes (adding to salads, eating as snacks, other dessert recipes, etc.). In the blender, make a sauce out of the other ingredients. Raisin soak water is the water in which the raisins have been soaking. The longer the raisins have been soaking for, the sweeter the water will be. Pour this sauce in the bowl and mix in with the shredded apples and raisins. Fill the pie with this mixture. Decorate with slices of fruits (bananas, apples, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
