poop pie. good bye Zach

warning: this post looks gross but is really delicious

Friday morning Zach came to join us for a good-bye party. We surprised him with some poop pie (our little joke), complete w/ peanut butter and rice crispies dog turd topping. (if you work with toddlers long enough, your mind may warp, or vice versa...)

Mary made this raw, grainless, chocolate pie based on a favorite recipe of mine for raw strawberry pie. The variations seem to be endless depending on seasonal fruit, and it's a super healthy treat. The crust is made from dates, almonds, cinnamon and salt. I've found that adding a tablespoon or 2 of coconut oil helps hold it together.
The filling is made from raw cashews, water, coconut oil, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla extract. If you're making it with fruit, that'll sweeten it plenty, but in this case Mary added honey and raw cacao powder.

yum.
