Fruits of the Forest Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1½ cups pitted dates, tightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • 3 cups sliced fresh fruit

How to Make It

1. Line a pizza pan, rimmed baking sheet, or other pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. To make the crust, place the almonds in a food processor. Process them into a fine powder.
3. Add the dates, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt to the 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 parchment-lined pan to form your crust.
6. Spread the almond butter onto the crust using the back of a spoon.
7. Decorate with fresh fruit. Optional: After you’ve added the fruit toppings, sprinkle some additional unsweetened shredded coconut on top (mozzarella-cheese style). Enjoy immediately.
