Description

Ingredients

• 1 can coconut milk chilled for several hours
• 10 large strawberries
• 2 Tbsp. gelatin
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 10 pitted dates
• 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Directions

• Soak the dates in a glass of water while you gather the rest of your ingredients.
• Add the shredded coconut to a food processor and begin to process it until the coconut begins to stick together.
• Drain and add the dates to the food processor, one at a time, and continue to process the mixture until the dates are well chopped and a paste is formed.
• Press the coconut date mixture into the bottom of your pan(s). I was able to make two 6 inch pies with mine, but you can probably make one larger, 8-9 inch pie with the same ingredients. I pressed some of the mixture up the sides of the pan, which is a good idea the first time you try the recipe with a new type of coconut milk. (Some coconut milks set more solid in the refrigerator than others, in which case you would need to add more gelatin to make a pie that holds its shape when sliced.)
• Remove your can of coconut milk from the refrigerator and scoop the solidified cream off the top and put into a blender.
• Pour the remaining liquid in the bottom of the can into a saucepan along with the gelatin, and heat over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is well dissolved. If your can of coconut milk was mostly coconut cream and there was very little liquid left, you may need to add a couple of tablespoons of water to fully dissolve the gelatin.
• Once the gelatin is dissolved, add the honey to the warm gelatin mixture and stir until it is completely incorporated.
• Add the gelatin, honey mixture to the blender with the strawberries and coconut cream and process until its a smooth puree.
• Pour the filling mixture into your prepared crusts, and refrigerate until set. (Its best to give yourself at least an hour, but it does tend to set pretty quickly.)
• Slice, serve, and enjoy!
