I took this picture before I scarfed it all down. Unfortunately Brandon decided to start his spring detox 2 days before his birthday so I had to come up with something that was relatively detox-friendly yet still a treat! So I came up with a lovely pie-type thing which actually came out great. It was the first time making a “raw” crust so now I’m thinking those yummy raw fake cheesecakes at Whole Foods are going to be eliminated from my shopping list. Anyway, here’s what I did. 
 
Crust: 
1/2 c walnuts, almonds or pecans, soaked in water for 1-2 hours  
1/2 c walnuts, almonds or pecans 
2-3 farmers market deglet noor dates, pits removed 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 
Coarse sea salt 
 
Put dried nuts in food processor and process into a fine meal. Remove and set aside. Drain soaked nuts well and process into coarse meal with dates, vanilla extract, nutmeg and coarse salt. Add the ground dry nuts and process until crumbly but slightly sticky. Press this into ramekins or pie plate. 
 
Filling 
1 can organic coconut milk 
1 tablespoon raw honey 
2 teaspoons agar agar 
 
Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes or until agar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly but not to room temperature. Pour into ramekins or pie plate lined with crust. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate. I actually added tangerine zest when I took the mixture off the stove which isn’t exactly according to the detox plan so omitted this from the recipe here.
