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
  1. Blueberry Filling:
  2. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Wasn't that easy?
  3. Crust:
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Assembly:
  8. 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.
