Raw Strawberry Gelato Pie

When I was at otc ( Odyssey teen camp) I taught a raw class and showed the teens how to make a raw pie. For the moment it took me a while to us the food processor but I got it to work. Usally I us a quart fresh strawberries but I us quart frozen strawberries and made like a strawberry gelato for the filling and it was good. I'll give the ingredients for the crust and I hope you try it out for a hot day

Raw Pie Crust
1 cup walnuts soaked overnight -then drained
1 cup cashews or Pecans soaked overnight- then drained
1 cup dates soaked and drained
1/2- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
pinch of salt

Put everything in a food processor (throw out soaking water) and blend until uniform and stick.
It should look think and lumpy. press into pan. Top with fruit of choice.

Any nut can be used - just remember to soak them well. This will deactivate the enzyme inhibitors that make nuts hard to digest. If you use almonds soak them and remove the brown skin.
This recipe can be multiplied - just make one batch at a time. Thats all the food processor can hold. Then mix together with your hands and press into pan.

For topping slice fruit of choice or a combo of fruit and then add a drizzle. Example: slice strawberries and arrange them on top of crust. The take 1 cup of strawberries,1/2 cup soaked dates, 1 teaspoon lemon juice (prevents browning) and put in blender. Puree and taste for sweetness. Adjust taste by adding more dates, agave or maple syrup. Pour puree over the top of your fruit and put in fridge for at least one hour so that it can set up. Enjoy!!
