INGREDIENTS:
Crust
½ Cup Coconut oil, melted
2 Eggs
¼ Teaspoon Salt
¾ Cup Coconut Flour
2 Tablespoon Raw Honey
Filling
4-6 Cups Strawberries, Hulled and cut in half. (If your berries are smaller, use closer to 6 cups.)
3 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoon Raw Honey
Juice of ½ Lemon
½ Tablespoon Arrowroot Powder
2 Tablespoons Grass Fed Gelatin
DIRECTIONS:
For the Crust
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl beat coconut oil, eggs, honey and salt together with a fork.
- Then add coconut flour.
- Stir until dough holds together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, transfer to a greased pie dish and slowly pat down until your crust has been hand-formed. You could use a 9”, 9.5” or 10” pie pan for a thinner crust.
- Prick the dough with a fork.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let cool completely before filling.
For the Filling
- In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups of halved strawberries, raw honey, maple syrup and lemon juice over medium heat.
- Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, fill the remaining strawberries.
- With a slotted spoon, remove the berries from your sweet sauce and add them to remaining strawberries.
- Allow the sweet sauce to cool for around 5-8 minutes.
- When using gelatin, it sets fairly quickly and so you have to work quickly.
- Once your sweet sauce is still very warm to the touch but not piping hot, stir in arrowroot, whisking it well.
- You may need to put the saucepan back on the stove and turn to simmer for a moment.
- Slowly add one tablespoon of gelatin at a time, thoroughly whisking in. You do not want to do this more than 2 minutes at the most as it will start to set up immediately.
- Remove from heat and slowly pour over bowl of berries.
- Stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Carefully pour filling into cooled pie crust.
- Cover and place in refrigerator and serve chilled.
- For best results, allow assembled pie to chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
- If you are in a hurry to serve it, sometimes putting it in the freezer for half an hour helps.
- Garnish with homemade raw whipped cream, if desired.
