Sneaky Lemon Bar Pie

December 10, 2017 By Salad Therapy Jump to Recipe8 Comments

SHARE THE LOVE

Why sneaky? 1. Because you won’t be able to stop sneaking extra slices. It’s almost too good. 2. Because of its crazy healthy yet totally undetectable secret ingredient…cauliflower! Not just a little. Two cups! I know most of you won’t believe me. But it is getting rave reviews even from self-proclaimed healthy-food haters.I shaped this into a pie crust, but you could do it in a square baking dish to make traditional lemon bars. BTW, the filling is pink because it’s sweetened with date syrup. (Note: I no longer use date syrup but imagine replacing it with dates would yield a similar result.) Don’t freak. Unless it’s in a good way.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup whole wheat or gf flour
  • 1 cup raw cashew pieces
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons date sugar
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 c water only add tablespoon by tablespoon
Filling
  • 1/4 cup nondairy milk
  • 1/4 cup raw cashew pieces
  • 2 cups cooked cauliflower
  • 3/8 cup date syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest from one lemon
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Grind the dry crust ingredients in the food processor til very fine, then slowly drizzle water while pulsing food processor until you have a soft, pliable dough. If the dough breaks apart at the edges when you handle it, break it until little pieces, put back into food processor, and add a little more water.
  3. Flatten dough and place between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll out circle large enough for pie dish. I flip my pie dish over onto the rolled dough and use it as a stencil to cut the dough the right size and shape. Gently press dough into dish.
  4. Blend all filling ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. Pour into the crust.
  5. Shape edges of crust however you like them, then cover the exposed edges with foil so they don't burn.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes at 375F.
  7. Cool then chill overnight.
  8. Slice, serve with fresh strawberries, and enjoy! Keep in the fridge.
