Easy Raw Dessert Tip - Crusts

Here's a great and simple tip when making Raw desserts.

Before pressing your next crust into the bottom of the springform pan (or pie plate), sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of dried, shredded, unsweetened coconut on the bottom of the pan. Then, press in the crust. This helps prevents the crust from sticking to the pan, making each slice beautiful and easy to serve.

Wilderness is the BEST! This is where I get my coconut products too :-)
And on the subject of your last post-- I've bought raw cacao powder and nibs from both wilderness family, and natural zing. I thought the nibs from from natural zing weren't very good and need to re-order my chocolate stock soon. I see you mention Nativa's chocolate a lot, are they your favorite cacao source?

Hi Coco.nut Your Average Girl,

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, I'm a big fan of Navitas Naturals products. I usually keep my freezer stocked with their raw organic cacao products (and lots of other goodies. :)

Cheers,

thanks for that, also, when using a springform pan, flip the bottom upside down, the pie will come off super easy!

Kristen, my son has a peanut allergy and has been advised to stay away from all nuts. What can I substitute? I thought maybe Hemp seeds for your crusts and crumbles? Even flax seeds are processed with nuts. Help!

Hi Carrie,
I love using hemp seeds in my crusts, cookies, crumbles. If he can have that, then great :)

Cheers,
Kristen
