No-Bake Strawberry Pie With Chocolate Chunks
Colleen prepared and served this fantastic dessert during our latest Celebrity Chef weekend. This delicious, easy-to-prepare pie calls for the sweetest strawberries you can find. It is also best when served within an hour or two of preparing it, since it is at its most fresh then, but it holds up just fine in the fridge.
Serves: 8 to 12
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 60 min
Ingredients
2 Cups
Raw almonds or pecans
1/2 Cup
Pitted dates
5 Cups
Sliced ripe strawberries
5
Pitted dates, soaked
2 Teaspoons
Fresh lemon juice
As Desired
Dark chocolate chunks (optional)
Directions
1
Place the nuts in a food processor and grind until they’re a coarse meal. Add the 1/2 cup of dates (for the crust) and process until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into a non-stick or very lightly oiled pie plate or spring form pan.
2
Arrange 4 cups of the sliced strawberries on top of the crust and set aside.
3
In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining 1 cup of strawberries with the 5 soaked dates and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Pour the sauce mixture over strawberries.
4
Arrange the chocolate chunks on the top of the sauce (optional), and refrigerate the pie for 1 hour before serving. This will help the pie set and will be perfect for slicing.
5
Serving Suggestions and Variations: This is a perfect summer pie when strawberries are at their most ripe.
