    Raw Vegan Pecan Pie

    Deliciously raw vegan pecan pie. 3-layers of raw goodness, packed with pecans and pecan flavor, super easy to make. Raw and gluten-free! #vegan #lovingitvegan #pecanpie #dessert

    When I first thought about making a vegan pecan pie, I had it in mind to do a baked version. But after scouring many recipes online and seeing that what holds a regular version of pecan pie together is syrup and a fair few eggs, I realized that making a baked vegan version wouldn’t be the most straightforward thing I ever did.

    So I chickened out and made a raw vegan version instead.

    There’s a lot to be said for raw vegan pies! Not only are they delicious, but generally they’re a lot easier too. You don’t have to bake them for one thing, and for another, they’re generally simple in terms of an ingredient list. Well at least they are when I make them.

    One day I will attempt (and conquer) the baked vegan pecan pie, but that day is not today! Instead what we have here is gloriously raw and decadently delicious raw vegan pecan pie.

    The crust is pecans, walnuts, dried (dessicated) coconut and dates, and the filling is a delicious blend of pecans, dates, coconut oil, coconut cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

    And all that is topped with plenty of fresh pecans, and served up with some whipped coconut cream.

    Description

    Deliciously raw vegan pecan pie. 3-layers of raw goodness, packed with pecans and pecan flavor, super easy to make, and utterly divine served with vegan whipped cream!


    Ingredients

    • For the Crust:
    • 1 cup (120g) Pecan Nuts
    • 1 cup (100g) Walnuts
    • 1/4 cup (20g) Dried (Dessicated) Coconut
    • 1 cup (175g) Pitted Dates (packed)
    • For the Filling:
    • 1 and 1/4 cups (220g) Pitted Dates (packed)
    • 1/2 cup (120ml) Coconut Cream
    • 1/4 cup (60ml) Coconut Oil (Melted)
    • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
    • 1 tsp Cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
    • 1/2 cup (60g) Pecan Nuts (crushed)
    • For the Topping:
    • 1 cup (120g) Pecan Nuts
    • For Serving:
    • Vegan Whipped Cream

    Instructions

    1. Add pecan nuts, walnuts, dried (dessicated) coconut and pitted dates to the food processor and process. It will start of crumbly and then will gradually form into a sticky dough. Process it until it starts to clump and chunks are sticking together. Press this down into a pie dish, and place into the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
    2. Warm the dates for 30 seconds in the microwave. If you don’t have a microwave or don’t want to use one, then soak them for 5 minutes in boiling hot water. Add them to the food processor and process. It will first form a giant ball of toffee and then gradually start to break down. When it is starting to break down and stick to the sides, heat the coconut cream and gradually pour it in while the food processor is running. Let this process into a thick caramel. Then add the melted coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and process until smooth. Finally, add in the crushed pecans and briefly process to combine.
    3. Spread this out on top of the walnut pecan base and return to the freezer to set.
    4. Once set, put pecans all across the top of the pie. Serve with whipped coconut cream.

    Notes

    *Nutritional information is an estimate for 1 slice of 10 served without whipped cream.

    *Recipe adapted from Food 52.

      I only made the filling as I was craving a ‘caramel’ type sauce. This Is AMAZING!!! You can use it as a sauce or cake icing. I will make this as a pie sometime too! Thank you for this great recipe!!

        Hi Rhonda, I think you could, but I haven’t actually tried freezing this one. I would imagine though that it would freeze well and you could thaw it overnight in the fridge.

      Looks amazing! What is a good substitute for coconut cream that is still dairy free?

        Any non dairy cream like soy cream or almond cream should work fine. 🙂

      I used Shredded coconut instead of dessicated and it held up nicely. This recipe is exactly what I was Looking for! I served it with chocolate syrup drizzle too! It’s a keeper!

      How is this raw if you are melting and microwaving things? Just wondering as I’m new to the whole raw thing…

        Microwaving is optional, you can soak them in hot water instead if that’s important to you. Heating things doesn’t make them not raw – go to a raw food restaurant and you’ll still get hot drinks! It’s just about not ‘cooking’ things. If you use a dehydrator, the food comes out very warm indeed! But it’s still technically raw. And you can melt coconut oil by standing the jar in a bowl of hot water.

      If I wanted to make this oil-free, what do you suggest I substitute for the Coconut Oil?

        You could just leave it out in this instance.
