Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Blueberry Filling:
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon grated orange zest, plus extra for garnish
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons brown sugar
Canola-oil cooking spray
Crust:
⅔ cup raw almonds
¾ cup pitted dates
1 teaspoon orange juice
1 teaspoon water
Instructions
Blueberry Filling:
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Wasn't that easy?
Crust:
Pulse almonds in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Empty the almonds into a mixing bowl. Pulse the dates in the food processor until well chopped (they will be a little clumpy).
Add almonds back into the food processor with the dates along with 1 teaspoon water and 1 teaspoon orange juice. Pulse on high several times to form a paste.
Divide mixture evenly into 4 golf ball-sized rounds. Press the rounds with the palm up your hand to form a 4-inch crust and gently turn up the edges. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Assembly:
Use a spatula to move crusts to serving plates; fill each with ½ cup berries and drizzle each with some leftover juices from the bowl. Top with orange zest for garnish.
