Raw Mango Cobbler

I just spent 10 days in Maui & always leave there so inspired, filled with ideas & RECIPES! My dear friend Celeste shared this delicious raw cobbler recipe with me. CRUST:

3 cups pecans, dry 1 vanilla bean, scraped ( if you don't have, you can use 1 Tbsp vanilla extract) 3/4 tsp sea salt 3/4 cups pitted dates

SYRUP:

3/4 cup pitted dates 3 Tbsp coconut oil 1/2 vanilla bean ( again, you can use 1 tsp of vanilla extract) 2/3 cup water, as needed

FILLING:

3-4 ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded & sliced.

Directions:

To make the crust, process the nuts, vanilla & sea salt into a powder. Add the dates & process until mixed well. Press this mixture onto the bottom of a cake pan.

To make the syrup, use the same container. No need to rinse, the leftover crust crumbs will add in with the syrup. Process all ingredients until smooth. Set aside.

To make the filling, place sliced mangoes into a large mixing bowl. Pour the syrup over sliced mangoes, coating them.

Place mango mixture evenly over the crust & chill in freezer to allow filing to set. Take cobbler out of the freezer & let warm up a bit before serving.... Enjoy this AMAZZZING raw cobbler as a healthy, yummmmy treat!
