Custard/Mousse/Pudding Pie? page

[Dr. Bork Bork]

So I have some homemade grahams here that need to be finished (nothing this delicious is going to keep long! And we've already had them at least a week), so I was thinking of making our little family a pudding pie of some sort, with the grahams as crust. I have chia, hemp protein, coconut milk, tapioca pearls, chocolate, arrowroot powder, eggs, chocolate, and a well-stocked spice cabinet. I know how to make coconut milk custard, but not sure about making a custard pie. Can anyone help?

Crush grahams in food processor with butter, press into pie plate.

Heat 1 1/4 cup coconut milk to boiling. I would add 1/4 cup sugar at this point, and stir to dissolve. But you can do without it. In a bowl, which three whole eggs. Slowly pour the hot coconut milk in in a thin stream, whisking all the while. Then return all to pan under low heat. Add in 7 oz bittersweet chocolate and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir until chocolate is melted, pour into pie shell, refrigerate!

Now, I'd love your grahams recipe!

goji, I got it off of Joyful Abode. It's fantastic! I love it with some almond butter

Thanks, I'll be making those!

[Dr. Bork Bork]

Just be forewarned that they don't come out as a cracker at all. They're super crumbly, but very grahamy

Can I sub the coconut flour for all almond? i can't find coconut flour anywhere!

[Dr. Bork Bork]

order it on Amazon? You can make your own, too. The recipe isn't mine, so you'd have to ask Joyful Abode author.

I've been trying to think of what to make for mother's day dessert, and here are some ideas I thought could be easily primal-ized
Coconut pie: Step-by-Step: French Coconut Pie – Tasty Kitchen Blog
Chocolate marscapone mousse (make creme fraiche & drain for marscapone): Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse
Pastry cream (i.e. cream puff filing!!!! bet it would be great with coconut milk): Francois Payard's Pastry Cream (Creme Patissiere) - Martha Stewart Recipes
I don't think I've ever used starch in pastry cream, but you might want to put in some tapioca to make sure it sets up and I would cook it over a double boiler instead of directly on the heat bc things get ugly fast! =D

a raw vegan served this one at a recent potluck, and it was fantastic!


you can sub a few ingredients (and adjust sweetness) to make it primal.
