Ingredients
Method
Crust
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
- In a high-speed blender, add the dates and blend until they are finely chopped.
- Add the coconut oil to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds.
- Add the remaining crust ingredients (arrowroot, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract and apple sauce) to the blender and blend until all the ingredients are fully mixed (about 1-2minutes).
- Place the crust ingredients into a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly in the pan. Bring the dough up the sides.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Then remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
Blueberry Filling
- Bring 1/2 cup water and the blueberries to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer. Stir occasionally, until berries start to break down slightly (3-4 minutes).
- In a small bowl, mix arrowroot flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir into berry mixture.
- Add lemon zest and juice, sweetener, collagen, ginseng, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Whisk well to ensure the collagen does not clump. Simmer and stir for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Pour the hot berry mixture into cooled pie crust. Let the pie set in the fridge for 20 minutes
Topping
- Top with fresh blueberries and lemon zest.
