This is a great one for the holidays. In fact, I made it this year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. It uses Nutiva Coconut Manna and Nutiva Hempseeds. It also calls for Palm Sugar and Agave, so it is a bit on the sweet side. If you don’t like Agave, you can play with Maple Syrup, which should work pretty well too. I have tried the crust without the sugar, and it works, but one has to put in far more dates or the crust ends up on the bland side.
If you have a dehydrator, I would recommend soaking your Walnuts for about 8 hours, draining, and then dehydrating them for a good 12 hours before using them in the crust. This significantly improves the flavor of the walnuts while removing their grittiness.
Enjoy! [click to continue…]
