Raw Strawberry Coconut Cream Pie

Summer and strawberries. What a great combination. A friend of mine dropped off a very large box of strawberries the other day and the fun began. I have been having spinach-strawberry balsamic salads, putting strawberries in green drinks and just eating them by the dozens! Noticing that the rest of the strawberries needed to be used now, I decided to put together a recipe for a strawberry cream pie! The crust is a delicious combination of macadamia nuts and almonds with coconut while the filling is a light, healthy combination of cashews, coconut meat plus a few more ingredients. The special surprise is the layer of cacao that lines the crust. This recipe uses an 8″ pie plate.

    This looks so good! Is there anything I could replace the cashews with? I’m slightly intolerant to them! Thank you!

      Without completely reworking the recipe, I don’t think so…

    We LOVE this pie! I do add a little agave to the filling. I also put more strawberries in. We make just the chocolate sauce quite often and use it to dip strawberries and bananas in. SO YUMMY!! Thanks for the fabulous recipe.

    Yes, we used good strawberries. We had extra filling leftover (due to the extra strawberries we added to the pie)… so, we ate just the filling with about 4x the strawberries and it was sweet enough.

    By the way, the pie freezes well. And, we made half the pie w/ the chocolate layer and the other half without.

    I shared this dessert w/ non-raw friends and their relatives. They enjoyed it and asked for the recipe so I directed them to your website. I took leftovers to a non-raw potluck and everyone was wondering if there was more to share! Oh well. But, for those that did eat, they enjoyed it.

    I really like this recipe because it only uses 2 Tbs of sweetener (agave), if you skip the chocolate layer.

    This is yummy. The crust was perfect. Does the filling need a sweetener? My hubby said it was “just right” on sweetness. I have a sweet tooth, so it could be “just right”.

      I like it as it is but if you wanted it sweeter, you could always add a little agave. I usually try to use strawberries that are very sweet.
