This is one of those pies you want to make when you want to impress your guests with a dessert that is healthy, gluten and grain free and Paleo. It is also dairy free and egg free and super easy and fast to make. There is also no need to bake the crust, it is delicious as is. No one would even notice its made with healthy fats 😉 I got a huge wow from my neighbors and husband when I let them try it....
I decorated mine with cacao paste flakes, mint and strawberries
