Yield: 8 servings

No-bake Almond Coconut Pie Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds, ground
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix coconut with 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon maple syrup and let set a few minutes.
  2. Mix the other ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Combine the coconut mixture with the rest of the ingredients (and the rest of the maple syrup). Add a little water if the mixture is dry.
  4. Press into pie pan.
  5. (Carefully pour in no-bake pie filling of your choice.)
  6. (Put pie in the refrigerator until it is set.)

Notes

May use pecans instead of almonds.

May use fresh or dried shredded coconut. If using dried, you may want to add a little water to moisten the dough.

I found ground almonds at the store or you can grind almonds in the blender or food processor.

Add salt if desired. I actually like it best with a little salt. Try it both ways and see what you like.

Do not oil the pie pan.
