Published: Jul 26, 2012 · Modified: Aug 27, 2018 by Richa 31 Comments

This beet cream pie is the perfect dessert for one. No bake, vegan and gluten free and super easy to make Jump to Recipe

This was my second entry for the Virtual Chopped- the Vegan Edition hosted by Isa @ Post Punk Kichen. This time it is was a dessert round.

Check out my first entry – Mango Beet Halwa bites(fudgy bites) with Candied Beet Coconut thin cookies, topped with Candied beet cubes.

The mystery ingredients were:

Mango

Red Beet

unsweetened coconut flakes

crisp rice cereal

This tart is all whole ingredients and a must try this summer. For a creamier filling, use more cashews. Add sweetener and spices to taste.

Pulse dates, ground almond, coconut and rice cereal. Press into tart pan

Puree Mango with ground cashew to make Mango creme.

Grate beets and then blend with ground cashew, coconut flakes, sugar and water. Bring to a boil, cool, swirl into the mango cream.

Eat as is, or freeze for an hour to firm up and make easy slices.

Another combination I love is this Strawberry and Mango Layer Cream Pie, pictured below. This pie has almond coconut date crust(same as the recipe below, without the rice cereal). and is raw.

Blend a few strawberries, raw sugar, and powdered cashew into a smooth puree. Layer over Mango cream. If not any other way, try the pie with just some very ripe mango cream. It makes for an amazing summer treat!

Pardon the messy swirls.. The pacman was forgotten on the counter to thaw while I finished a Cookie dough pint and pondered over the blog name change.

Now to the Awards from the Bloggie world. Heather@SundayMorningBananaPancakes and Richgail@AstigVegan passed on One Lovely blog award and Vicky@GlutenfreeSCDandVeggie passed on the Sunshine award! Thank you for the love you all:)

5 things you might not know about me –

I wanted to study Medicine, but then dropped Biology because of the mandatory frog dissection. Fortunately for the froggies, live animal dissections were banned in most schools a year later.

Then I had a choice between Architecture, and Computer Science & engineering and at the last minute, decided on CS.

Hubbs and me both have this common trait, that if someone tells me what I should do, I dont like to do it. It is much stronger in hubbs though, he will do the exact opposite;)

hmmm, what else.. I was a crazed party animal (by my standards, hubbs says that that is close to normal for a lot of people.. I am mostly a quiet person except when mad at something).. when I was in Chicago. Working in the finance world, new job, living a cut-throat, fun and stressed life. The whole finance industry with the misplaced priorities on the monies and just the general lifestyle did not work out for me.

I did not really know how to gossip till my roomies in grad school taught me to. I think I should Not have picked that up. 🙂
