Simple Chia pudding Pie

Hi everyone! Yesterday Jakob wanted to make a raw dessert, so we went into the kitchen to throw something together. He was a bit shaky, asking for directions :) Im not much for giving all the details when I show how to make a raw dessert. You learn best by the discipline of trial & error, and if you get some space to figure things out for your self, your intuition is with you and thats when magic really starts to happen. We didnt put any coconut oil in the filling this time. Instead we decided to make a chia pudding filling. For those of you whos new to chia, the seeds swells in liquid and forms a gel, a bit like flax seeds. Chia serves as a stabilizing agent you can have a lot of fun with! This is not the fancy sort of engineered raw pie youd make to impress your mother in law. Its an impromptu pie for all of you who love this category of raw desserts. Few ingredients, basic flavors and no fuss :) You can vary this pie in a million ways, using your favorite berries and fruits, add super foods and spices. Variations:• If you use blueberries, add a squeeze or two of lime. Lime enhances the blueberry flavor, and also makes pink marks in the blueberry filling (great for decoration).• If you use raspberries, skip the salt. Salt and raspberries DONT match!• Experiment with the nuts used in the base. Have you tried pistaschios? You will be amazed of how gorgeous they are together with the dates. You can add some whole pistachios to the base to make it crunchy.• Want to go nut free? No problems. Substitute the 1 cup of nuts with 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds and 0.5 cup of shredded coconut. • Use cardamom, nutmeg and / or cinnamon as a seasoning for the base. Jakobs Simple Chia pudding Pie, serves three.(Swedish further down)For the base• 1 cup of Dates (remove two dates to reduce the sweetness)• 1 cup of Nuts (macadamias, pecans etc)• 1/4 teaspoon real Vanilla (the black seeds from a pod)• A pinch of Himalayan saltPit and soak the Dates for 5 minutes.
