Name: Raw Raspberry Cream Pie
Ingredients: Ingredients

This raw raspberry cream pie recipe is delicious and healthy. Packed with almonds, oats and fruit this is an easy no bake vegan and gluten free dessert.

When it comes to desserts, I love recipes that are easy, delicious, and not so bad for you (hint: not loaded with sugar). This raw raspberry cream pie is exactly that and then some more.

First, it’s perfect for summer. I mean, it’s raw after all so there’s no need to turn on your hot oven and heat your home.

Second, it’s actually healthy and packed with good for you ingredients. Think almonds, oats, coconut cream, and fresh fruits.

And finally, it’s so easy to make you’ll find yourself volunteering to make it for all the get-togethers that are packing your summer schedule.

There are two very important things about this raw raspberry cream pie:

The crust should stick together when pressing but not sticky

The secret to a delicious crunchy crust that holds its shape is to make sure all the ingredients come together but are not sticky.

If you think yours is on the sticky side add more oats and pulse in your food processor for a minute or so. If your crust is too sticky, you’ll end up with the equivalent of a soggy pie crust and that’s not good.

Make sure you chill the coconut cream from the night before

Chilled coconut cream is the best thing that could happen to this world. It’s also the main reason this raw raspberry cream pie is so delicious.

When chilled and mixed, the coconut cream fluffs up like whipped cream. And just like with whipping cream, if warm it would not form those stiff peaks full of air.

And what about substitutions for no bake pies?

Besides that, you can pretty much play with all the ingredients and substitute them for what you want. I’m a fan of raspberries (check this Raspberry Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies recipe if you are like me!)

I use this as my basic raw pie recipe and then just change the fruit puree to what I have on hand at the time. It’s amazing with blackberry puree, mango puree and even with lemon curd.

I also change the almonds to walnuts or hazelnuts from time to time.
