The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Raw pie crusts are an integral part of your raw recipe arsenal!
I just love this raw pie crust recipe. I mean, four ingredients and the taste of this raw pie crust is to die live for! I wouldn't change a thing about this one. The flavors and measurements are perfect, IMO.
This raw pie crust recipe is my go-to, standby raw pie crust. I like this recipe even better than carob or cacoa crusts. I have heard some people call this recipe a "shortbread" recipe, and this one raw pie crust recipe does remind me of shortbread... that salty sweetness takes me back to my childhood!
It is so simple and you can whip it up in a flash with some pretty basic ingredients. It also presses down very easily into a pie plate.
This recipe makes enough for one pie crust. You can top this crust with anything you like. I prefer topping this raw pie crust with thawed rasberries and other wet berries. I often keep the crust on its own, and I don't top it until we're ready to eat it to avoid the crust getting soggy. (I hate soggy pie crusts!!)

Hi! My initial reaction that is that it will get very soggy!!!
You should try to make the "cream cheese" filling recipe instead: http://therawtarian.com/raw-cheesecake-recipe/
White cheesecake filling ingredients:
3 cups cashews
3/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup agave or honey
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
Up to a 1/4 cup of water, if necessary to facilitate blending

I add 1-1/2 Tb nutr. yeast, freeze it upside down in a silicone pan, pat the crust on, freeze. when needed I put it on a dish pull off the top and let thaw. Make sure to pit those dates!

I'm trying to recreate a dessert I had, French Torte with sea salt and walnut crust. I think the crust and chocolate filling were raw. The crust was a wonderful salty taste that complemented the rich dark chocolate beautifully. Is this crust salty tasting and do you taste the dates or are they more a "paste"? Maybe I could omit the dates? Thanks!

Don't omit the dates, it won't hold together properly unless you add something in its place. No, it's not pasty.
Yes, it's salty, although I did combine this raw pie crust recipe with a chocolate filling and I actually didn't like the combo for some reason. I felt that the tastes didn't go together very well.
Hmm... suggestions anyone..?

This looks nice and easy! I think I will try it this weekend and choose one of your yummy puddings as the filling. I will let you know how it turns out.
Laura Jane I just ordered your 30-Day raw food diet plan and I am looking forward to trying out more yummy recipies.

Mmmmmm! That would be a yummy combo as a filling! Let me know how it turns out! It might get soggy, but if you eat it quick it might be tasty.
Hope you're enjoying the 30 day rood plan! http://www.rawfooddietplanhq.com
Bye for now,

I plan to try this, but I am looking for a pie crust recipe that is not too sweet. I don't want to add much, if any, sweetness to the filling. Do you know of a recipe that isn't sweet?

I don't know exactly what you do and do not eat, but I have a recipe on my plant-foods blog for raw chocolate orange raisin pie. The crust IS sweet and orangey but you can make it otherwise; it is made of organic oat flakes ground into flour, and flax meal. It can be made as a raw fridge-crust or dehydrated, or baked as per personal tastes/circumstances. I also made a savoury quiche crust once using oats, macadmia nuts, flax meal, and lemon juice. (but I have never written down the quantities) You could, of course substitute oats for a nut "flour" if you do not eat oats. Best wishes.

Hmmm. This one isn't *too* sweet, but it wouldn't hold together very well without the dates I don't think.

I am allergic to dates. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute. I cannot have dried apricots either, but can eat raisins. Didn't know if it would alter the flavor too much.

Hi Helene, in general, dried prunes are my #1 substitue for dates in most raw recipes. Second choice is raisins.

i want to try it. am new to raw food. does dry walnuts mean dehydrated? is there a source other than soaking and drying myself?
The Rawtarian
May 26, 2013
Hi Sonit, you do not need to dehydrate them. You can use them right from the store. "dry" just literally means not wet (some people will soak their nuts so that they are wet first, but I don't want you to do that for this recipe)

I tried this recipe with my 3 carnivores (husband and two boys) and it was a big hit. Thank you for your innovative and healthy recipe!

I plan on trying it this week. Can you dehydrate this crust also and if so at what temp and how long? Do you have a good recipe for a raw non dairy, soy free whipped topping?
Thanks!
The Rawtarian
Mar 12, 2012
Hi Kenda, no this crust isn't really made for dehydrating. It will be too crumbly.

I am going to use a version of this in classes this week. Totally Raw. Totally Awesome. We will be filling it with a Lemon Lime (avocado Mousse).

Yum! Sounds delish! Is this a raw vegan cooking class or just general cooking class?
