Description
This raw Canistel Pie is a tropical twist on traditional pumpkin pie, using the naturally sweet and custardy canistel fruit—also known as eggfruit—as the star ingredient. Paired with a simple almond-date crust and spiced with warming autumn flavors, it’s a no-bake dessert that’s both wholesome and indulgent. Perfect for special occasions or a nourishing treat straight from the fridge or freezer.
Instructions
Make the Crust:
- Pulse almonds in a food processor to coarse crumbs.
- Add dates, salt, and vanilla; process until sticky.
- Press mixture into a pie or tart dish evenly.
- Refrigerate for 30+ minutes to set.
Make the Filling:
- Blend canistel with a splash of coconut milk until smooth but thick.
- Add spices, salt, and sweetener to taste.
- Pour into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes & Variations
- Fruit Substitute: Use baked pumpkin or sweet potato if canistel isn’t available.
- Texture: Canistel’s custard-like texture is perfect for raw pies.
- Decor: Top with shaved coconut or crushed nuts before serving.
