Decadent Layered Berry Pie

By

Eating an exclusion diet can be hard, so I want to show you that through a varied diet you don’t need to feel undernourished.  Beat your IBS with this incredibly decadent, sweet treat.  Packed with delicious ingredients like almonds, cacao, and lots of fresh fruits, this gluten-free and dairy-free recipe allows those of us with temperamental, IBS digestive systems to enjoy what is an indulgent dessert, by keeping the sugar content low by using natural maple syrup, and fresh low FODMAP fruits.

Further Food Commentary:

This recipe is a great example of how dietary restrictions need not get in the way of taste and the many steps involved are worth the effort. Not just for pancakes, maple syrup adds a layer of flavor and even some minerals like manganese and zinc. It is a well-tolerated natural source of sugar that is actually boiled-down maple tree sap.
Recipes that sneak in healthy vegetables like this one are so mischievous. The sneaky parsnip adds potassium, vitamin C and folate.
Like all berries, raspberries are a good source of fiber and provide a boost of antioxidant activity from disease fighting anthocyanins and ellagic acid. I always like to keep high quality frozen berries on hand to use in desserts like this but also for smoothies, oatmeal, muffins or ricotta pancakes. I have been caught nibbling them out of the bag too!

Ingredients

Sweet Short Crust Pastry:

2/3 cup buckwheat flour

3/5 cup tapioca flour

2/5 cup rice flour

1 egg

7 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons ground almonds

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/4 teaspoon of salt

Unrefined icing sugar (to dust)

 

Cacao-Nut Cream:

2 tablespoons pecans

2 tablespoons almonds

1 parsnip (cooked & chopped)

2 1⁄2 tablespoons almond milk

1 dessert spoon coconut oil (melted)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Vanilla (to taste)

2 tablespoons raw cacao powder

 

Raspberry Coulis:

1 pint raspberries

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1⁄2 tablespoon flaked almonds

Instructions

This pie needs to be made in three stages—Pastry, Cacao-nut cream, and Coulis

 

Sweet Short Crust Pastry

  1. Put all ingredients into a bowl and use fingers to make into crumbs, gradually working everything into the coconut oil.
  2. As mixture becomes sticky, bring it together to form a ball and wrap in saran wrap and place in fridge for an hour.
  3. Dust a surface with flour and icing sugar, roll out the dough ball and transfer to a pie or flat tin.
  4. Put into an oven preheated at 350oF and bake for 5 minutes.

 

Note: The mixture may be quite sticky thanks to the coconut oil—I like to roll out my base, add it to the dish, and then simply press pieces of pastry dough in around the sides. It removes the stress of the dough sticking or breaking!

 

Cacao-Nut Cream

  1. Chop nuts in a blender until they are a fine dust. Put aside.
  2. Blend the cooked and chopped parsnip, almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add cacao powder and blend until completely combined, then add the nuts and blend.

 

Raspberry Coulis

  1. Blend all ingredients in the blender until smooth.
  2. After the crust has baked for 5 minutes, put cacao-nut cream onto the base and top with the raspberry coulis.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350oF.
  4. Allow to cool and set before serving.

 

Note: How you top the pie is up to you. But as you can see I used raspberries, strawberries, pecans and chopped nuts—ingredients that can be IBS friendly and delicious.
