Nectarine pie #raw #vegan #fingerlicking


Measuring units:

ml = millilitre
tea spoon is a tea spoon
J

Ingredients:
Fruit:  5 firm nectarines

Sauce:  350 g of pitted dates; 250 ml water; ½ tea spoon (or more if you like) cinnamon

Dough:  210 g almonds; 135 g shredded coconut; 3 large spoons of the Sauce above
Procedure:The pie is made upside-down. Take your pie or cake model, put some drops of water in and wrap it in the thin plastic foil.

Pit the nectarines and cut them into small pieces. Put them in the model, press down firmly and put everything in the fridge.

 
Then pit the dates. I prefer pitting them myself, so I can be 100% sure that there are no pits. The sauce you're making is fingerlicking good, so in case you might want to lick your fingers more than just once, add a couple of dates to your measured quantity. Blend the dates with water and cinnamon. Sometimes the dates are quite dry and you need to add more water. Save 3 to 4 spoons of the sauce for the dough and spread everything else on the top of nectarines.


 
 
Grind the almonds in a food processor, add the coconut and the sauce and mix it all together. Put the dough on the top in your model. It goes easy when you make small “pancakes” with your hands and put them one next to the other.
 
Careful with pressing the dough down, you don’t want the sauce to burst out. Sprinkle a bit of coconut on the top and put the model in the freezer, for about one hour.
 
Make sure it doesn’t freeze. Then turn it around on a plate and put it in the fridge.
 
Actually, the pie is good to eat as soon as it is taken out the freezer, but it can wait in the fridge for several hours, even overnight. I usually keep the plastic foil on it until I start eating it, in order to prevent the fresh cut fruit from oxidation.
 

Credits/Inspiration: The pie was largely inspired by Presne Tortice on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=452036751556407&set=pb.388218094604940.-2207520000.1404203495.&type=3&theater
