| SCRUMPTIOUS CAROB PIE

Ingredients
- Crust: 2 C Raw, unrefined coconut
- Crust: 6 Apricots, unsulfured (not soaked)
- Crust: 6 lg Pitted dates

Steps
- CRUST - put the coconut in an S-blade food processor and cut until fine. Add dates and apricots and continue processing until the mixture feels moist. Press mixture in a 9" tart pan, evenly distributing on the bottom and fluted sides. The more compact, the better. Place in the refrigerator to "set".
- FILLING - place all of the ingredients in the same food processor and mix until smooth and creamy. Spoon mixture gently into tart shell; be sure to bring mixture up to the sides. Chill several hours to completely set.
- SERVING - garnish the top with sliced bananas, strawberries or kiwi fruit. Push up from the bottom of the tart shell and slice into very small portions. This is very rich and should be considered a "celebration" food.
- Variation: layer on top of the crust with sliced bananas, kiwi, or strawberries before putting the filling in to make a pretty slice of pie to serve.
- Apply dollops of cashew or almond cream for garnish

Notes: This is a favorite among our guests and in our Raw Food Seminars. You have to taste it to believe it's so delicious!
