Best Vivians Raw Pie Recipes
VIVIAN'S RAW PIE
Raw, naturally sweet & amazingly healthy and delicious. This is my take on Vivian's original recipe. There is a lot of room to improvise here. I've had several different versions of this pie and it was excellent every time. This recipe comes from an old hand written recipe card from a friend's mom's recipe collection. Whoever Vivian is, bless her heart, I love this pie.

Steps:
- Grind nuts & seeds in food processor. they should measure at least a cup AFTER they've been ground.
- Add ground flax & 1/4 c shredded coconut. add dates a few at a time. careful, they can stick to food processor blade.
- When dates are finely chopped mix in with a fork 1 TB honey or agave and just a little coconut milk (maybe a quarter of the can)- a little at a time until you reach a sticky consistency that can be patted into a pie pan.
- *Note: You may not even need the coconut milk if your dates are really soft. The original recipe had none- I just added it because mine always seems too dry.
- Slice fruits in thin slices and layer on top of crust: bananas first, then whatever else you're using. Save a layer of your prettiest fruits; kiwi, berries, or star fruit- or whatever you want- for the last step.
- Take whatever mushy fruit you have leftover (bruised strawberries, overripe pears, papaya, or banana all work well) & blend in food processor (with a little coconut milk if you like) until smooth. consistency should be a little thinner than applesauce. pour this evenly over the pie.
- Take your decorative fruits reserved for the top layer (toss them in a little agave if you like for a glazed look) and arrange prettily on top.
- Sprinkle top lightly with remaining coconut shreds.
- Freezing for an hour or so helps with the slicing, or you can slice & eat right away or refrigerate. This pie is definitely best the first day :-).

RAW CHOCOLATE-SPIRULINA PIE
Chocolate and greens? Yes, chocolate and greens! This was my first experience making a "green" dessert and it did not disappoint. The cacao masks the flavor of the greens and the result is a delicious (and healthy) cheesecake-like pie. I know it sounds a bit strange but give it a try--it's really very good.

Steps:
- For the crust, mix almonds and agave in a bowl then press the mixture into the bottom of a 5 inch pie tin.
- In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Be patient; the cashews take a little extra time to fully grind. If you rush, your filling may be lumpy with pieces of cashews.
- Pour mixture into pie crust and freeze.
- Transfer to fridge about 10 minutes before serving. If the pie remains in the fridge for a while, the filling will melt and become runny.

RAW PUMPKIN PIE
We have been trying to eat more raw foods and I found this recipe in Dr. Gabriel Cousen's book Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine. This pie is dense and very tasty. I had my pie with a cup of grain beverage coffee. It will satisfy any raw foodies craving for a fall treat. I made my crust using oat groats because I like oats, but this one is good too. I also used 1-15 oz. can of uncooked pumpkin to make this because I didn't have a pumpkin. This would be good with a dolup of Cashew Cream on top.
