Healthy Coconut Cream Pie

Ingredients:

~ Tofu - 1 cup

~ Coconut shreds - 1 cup plus 3/4 cup

~ Maple syrup - 1/4 cup

~ Vanilla - 1 1/2 tbsp

~ Coconut oil - 2 tbsp plus 1 tbsp

~ Nuts (Walnuts, almonds, cashews or a combination) - 3/4 cup

~ Dates - 1/2 cup

~ Cinnamon - 1 pinch (optional)

Instructions:

1. First thing's first. Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. Now you are going to make the pie crust. The pie crust is made from the nuts, 1 tbsp of the coconut oil, the optional cinnamon and 3/4 cup of the coconut shreds. Put these 3 (or if you're using cinnamon, 4) ingredients into your food processor and blend until well combined.

3. Spread the crust evenly into the bottom of the pie tin. The crust should come up the sides a tid bit, like any normal pie crust would.

4. Place the crust in the freezer for 30 minutes to let harden.

5. While you are waiting on the crust, make the pie filling. Take the tofu, 1 cup of coconut shreds, maple syrup, vanilla and 2 tbsp of coconut oil and place all of these ingredients into the food processor.

6. Blend until well combined. The mixture should be very creamy.

7. Pour the mixture evenly into the pie crust and place all of this into the oven for 30 minutes.

8. Take the pie out of the oven, sprinkle a little coconut on top and place the pie back into the oven for another 7-10 minutes.

9. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes before eating. The center of the pie needs time to set and the crust needs time to harden again.

10. You have just made coconut cream pie in 10 easy steps! Woo!
