Moroccan-Spiced Berry Delight

Allergens

Tree Nuts (Pistachios)

Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
• 1 cup vanilla bean ice cream (optional)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, honey, and Moroccan spices. Stir occasionally until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut oil, and shredded coconut until a crumbly dough forms. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch round tart pan with a removable base.
3. Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
4. Once cooled, spread the spiced berry mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top. If desired, add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to create a truly indulgent experience.
