FRUITS OF FOREST PIZZA
This sweet morning pizza recipe is fun for the children
in your life – or for the kid in you.
Serves: 8
For the crust:
• 140g (1 cup) almonds
• 260g (1½ cups) pitted dates, tightly packed
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• ¾ tsp sea salt
• 90g (1¼ cups) unsweetened shredded coconut
For the sauce:
• 65g (⅓ cup) almond butter
For the toppings:
• 600g (3 cups) fresh fruit, sliced
1 Line a pizza pan, rimmed baking tray or other pan with
baking paper. Set aside.
2 To make the crust, place the almonds in a food processor.
Process them into fine powder.
3 Add the dates, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt to food
processor. Process until well combined and sticky. Set aside.
4 Place the coconut in a large mixing bowl. Using a spatula,
scrape the food processor mixture into the bowl, on top of
the coconut. Using your hands, squeeze the mixture together
until the coconut is evenly distributed in the ‘dough’.
5 Press the mixture down firmly into the baking paper-lined
tray to form your crust.
6 Spread the almond butter onto the crust by using the back
of the spoon.
7 Decorate with fresh fruit. Optional: After you’ve added
the fruit toppings, sprinkle some additional unsweetened
shredded coconut on top. Enjoy immediately.
