Measurements are approximate - I didn't really measure while I was making it. In particular, adjust spices to taste.
Avocado Dream Pie:
1 crust, graham cracker or raw (recipe below)
2 ripe avocados
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed (thickener, and good for you, too)
4-6 pitted dates, soaked (soaking not strictly necessary, but I find it works better in my food processor if I do)
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. If it doesn't seem thick like pudding, add another tablespoon ground flax seed. Spoon into pie crust. Refrigerate.
Raw crust:
1 cup almonds, soaked for at least four hours and drained
3 pitted dates, soaked
1/8 cup olive oil
salt to taste
Food process almonds into crumbs. Add other ingredients and blend until mixed. Press into a pie pan.
Quite frankly, this isn't my favorite pie crust. I need to work on it more. If you don't care about the raw thing, use a graham cracker crust.
It turned out pretty much exactly as I dreamed it. It's very rich. Would probably make a good holiday pie.
