Pie with nothing wrong



Pie with nothing wrong


I nailed it, the pie with nothing wrong in it! 

Gluten-free diary-free sugar-free vegan / parve crust

2 cups of Medjool dates 
2 cups of cashew nuts 
Lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
Vegetable oil (avocado, corn, grape, safflower - any vegetable oild without strong taste) - 1/4 cup
Vanilla extract - 1 tea spoon (optional) 
A pinch of salt


Blend dates with lemon juice, add cashews, salt, vanlla extract, oil and blend together. 
Press the paste against the bottom  and walls of the pan. 
Keep in the fridge for at least an hour, overnight or not at all. 

Gluten-free diary-free sugar-free vegan / parve filling


Genrous amount of cut cooked sweet squash
         For best results, use kabocha squash, delicata / sweet dumpling  squash
1 sour apple cut in small chunks
Mix together 


Cholesterol-free dairy-free meringue  --or-- egg-free sugar-free whipped cream

Egg whites from 3 eggs
Sugar powder or white sugar - 60 mg
Lemon juice
A pinch of salt
Cream of tartar or vinegar - small amount to stabalize the foam
Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl (no plastic)
Beat them slow, beat them faster, get some peaks before adding sugar  and other ingidients, 
beat the mix to get soft peaks, medium peaks or stiff peaks depending on your preference. 
Stiff peaks are nice for decore. 

--or--
Whip heavy cream (guess you can explore a vegan whipping cream option, I used a regular whipping cream / heavy cream) 

And now all together  

Start preheating the oven at 200F
Take the pan from the fride, add the filling, top with meringue
Bake for about 45 min 

--or--

Preheat the oven at 400F
Take the pan from the fride, add the filling 
Bake for abot 20 min
Cool
Add whipped cream on top

Bottomline 


Truth to be told, I almost nailed it down. 
It still contains either egg whites or dairy cream (unless you figure it out with coconut cream option). 
If egg whites are involved, you'll need sugar for meringue. But then it's parve. 
In any case the crust and the filling are vegan, parve and sugar-free.
