No Bake Mince Pies
Easy gluten grains and sugar free mince pies perfect for GAPS SCD or Paleo diets.
Ingredients
- 150 g almonds*
- 25 g creamed coconut
- 4 tbsp desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- tbsp raw honey
- zest of an lemon
- zest of an orange
- pinch salt
Instructions
- In a food processor blend the nuts until broken apart and they are a finer texture. Then add the coconut oil, creamed coconut, zest, salt and honey.
- Then add the desiccated coconut.
- Bring the mixture into a ball shape and wrap in sling film and place in fridge for about 10 minutes.
- Then grab small handful of the mixture and press into cupcake/muffin cases, making it as even as possible. Make sure you leave some mixture to make tops for the mince pies if desired.
- Then fill with mince meat and cover with pieces of the 'pastry'.
- Store in fridge.
Notes
*I soaked my almond for 12 hours then dehydrated in oven at 80c for 8-10 hours as this make the nuts far more digestible and tasty too!
If you forget about the 'pastry' and it goes hard just warm it within your hands.
