Salted Caramel Pecan Pie (Vegan and Gluten Free)

March 14, 2016 / Niki / 15 Comments

I’m laid up on the sofa at the moment after twisting my ankle running in a 10k race yesterday – it’s really hard for me to sit still and the thought of not being able to exercise for a while is a bit stressful for me! On the upside its means I’ve got time to write up this recipe – and it’s a goodie!

Ok so this is a bit of a decadently indulgent dessert for me but you when you’ve been thinking about something for a while.. Namely salted caramel – I just had to create a salted caramel dessert.

So here it is my salted caramel pecan pie.. A gorgeous crust made from pecans, raw cacao, coconut flakes and of course medjool dates to stick everything together.

I love the combination of sweet and salty it’s incredibly moorish and this salted caramel filling is so good! It would also be amazing spooned over nice cream – yum!

I decided to top my pie with caramelised pecans and walnuts for a delicious crunch. But you could top with fresh fruit and that would be delicious too and I little lighter.

This may be a rich dessert and would be perfect for a dinner party served with vegan icecream but it’s also completely vegan and naturally sweetened by the dates and protein packed from the delicious nuts.

I love this one so I would love to hear what you think…

I hope you like my recipe; if you recreate it tag on instagram with #rebelrecipes @rebelrecipes for a chance to be featured. Love Niki x

Info

 

  4-8 servings
  80 minutes preparation time
  5 minutes cook time

Ingredients

  • Crust ingredients;
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp organic peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao
  • 8 medjool dates
  • Pinch salt
  • Caramel layer;
  • 1 cup medjool dates
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or nut butter of choice
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tbsp organic coconut oil – I like to use flavourless
  • 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • Toppings
  • Pecans
  • Sea salt flakes

Directions

  1. To make the crust add the pecans to your food processor or high speed blender and blitz until you get a crumb. Add in the rest of the crust ingredients and blitz again until everything comes together.
  2. Press the crumbly mixture into your pie tin with your hands then pipit into the freezer while you mane the caramel. I used a 10 inch pie tin.
  3. Wash out your mixer and add in the caramel ingredients. Blitz until smooth and creamy – it will be a few minutes before all the dates are thoroughly blended in.
  4. Dollop the caramel on the base and smooth out. Return to the freezer for at least 1 hr to firm up.
  5. Add the peacans for a pan and dry toast on a medium heat for a few minutes until lightly toasted. Set aside.
  6. Remove the pie from the freezer and top with the toasted nuts.
  7. Store in the freezer.
