In this special birthday edition of Amy’s Treat Corner Amy shows us how to make sunbutter birthday cream pie. Amy and I made this delicious treat in honor of Brandon’s birthday. In the video, we share a couple of our favorite stories with B from the past few years. Happy Birthday B!!

Here’s the full recipe adapted from Julie Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook:

For the crust:

1 C raw cashews
1/2 C raw almonds
1/4 C melted butter
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 C coconut sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

In a blender pulse together the cashews and almonds.  Then add in the other ingredients and pulse to a meal.

Take a pie or tart pan and grease with coconut oil.  Then spread the crust in the pan and up the sides.  Put in freezer while you make the filling.

For the filling:

2/3 C sunbutter creamy or crunchy
1/4 C honey
2-14oz cans coconut cream/milk (put in the fridge overnight and allow the cream to rise to the top) scoop the cream off and reserve the liquid for shakes 🙂
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Optional you can add 1/4 C peanut butter protein powder
****1 envelope of gelatin -add in 1/2tsp at a time

Put all ingredients in pan on med heat and stir till blended.  Turn heat to low and add in the **gelatin.  Till it thickens.

Pull out Crust and pour filling into pan and put in fridge for 3 hrs.

Decorate how you’d like – make some whip cream and add to the pie with chocolate drizzle on top !
