pie crust - quick and easy gluten free Recipe

Ingredients

2 tbsp cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
1/2 cup raw cashews (or almonds, walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts)
1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened) (See nutrition link below, for substitution notes.)
1/8 tsp salt
scant 1/2 cup pitted dates (8 small dates) (Readers have said that raisins work as well.)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend. Then transfer to an 8-in baking dish or aluminum pan (as shown above). Using a piece of wax or parchment paper, smush into the pan and pour desired filling on top or refrigerate until ready to use. (Notes: I like Sunmaid dates, as they’re softer. Also, you can probably use a blender, but I haven’t personally tried it and therefore cannot vouch for it. And feel free to double or triple the healthy pie crust recipe for a bigger pie.)
