Raw Pecan Pie

Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds, germinated
35 pitted dates, soaked for 1 hour and drained
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups raw pecans, germinated                                                                        Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, to grease your pan

Procedure

1. Combine the almonds and 10 of the dates in a food processor, and process until they are coarsely ground and clumping together. Grease the bottom of a 9-inch  a pie plate with a little cold-pressed olive oil to keep the pie from sticking to the plate. Press the almond-and-date mixture evenly into the bottom of brownie pan and up the sides to form a crust. Set aside.

2. Combine the remaining dates, the fresh lime juice, cardamon, coriander, salt, and vanilla in a blender or small food processor, and process until the mixture has a smooth, uniform consistency. Spread the date filling evenly over the crust. Arrange the raw pecans on top of the date mixture and press lightly.
