Instructions
- Spread a tiny amount of coconut oil on the bottom and sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate.
- Add all your crust ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until it is a loose cookie dough form or if ingredients begin to stick together.
- Place the dough mixture in your pie plate and press evenly from the center to the sides and about a half to one inch up the sides. (Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.)
- Place filling ingredients and spices into a food processor or blender and process until smooth; slowly adding water if necessary. (Blend until you have the consistency of a thick pudding.)
- Take your crust out of the freezer and pour and spread the filling evenly into the crust.
- Place pie back in the freezer for two to three hours or until firm.
- Take your pie out of the freezer and cover the filling with plastic wrap.
