This recipe was shared with us by our friends at Raw Food Rehab. Since summer is here and strawberries are coming into season, my wife and I looked for recipes featuring strawberries and found quite a few. But this one really peaked our interest. So I gave it a shot, especially since I already had a couple of young coconuts in the fridge, and it came out wonderfully. I recommend putting this in the freezer for a nice cold treat for these hot humid summer days.

Crust:

½ cup Almonds

½ cup shredded Coconut

1 heaping TBS of Cacao Powder

I TBS of Coconut butter (or oil)

Pinch of Sea Salt

2-3 soft Dates (I always recommend Medjool dates)

1-2 TB of Cacao nibs

¼ tsp of vanilla extract

-Process nuts, shredded coconut, salt, cocao powder and vanilla in a food processor until fine crumbs

- Add dates and cacao nibs and process just until the mixture begins to stick together

- Press into the bottom of a nine-inch pie or tort pan

Filling:

The meat of 2 Young coconuts (save the water for smoothies)

2 cups of fresh strawberries

1 TBS of Agave nectar (You can also use dates or honey)

1 TBS of coconut butter (optional)

- Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

- Pour filling on top of crust.

Topping:

Use sliced strawberries spritzed with fresh lemon juice. I recommend topping with these just before you serve.
