Instructions
Pizza Crust Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (380°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan and line it with baking paper.
- Prepare flax eggs in a medium bowl and set aside in the fridge to firm to egg-like consistency, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add rolled oats, salt, cinnamon. Combine well.
- Add the applesauce, maple syrup and vanilla extract to the medium bowl of prepared flax eggs. Whisk to combine well.
- Next add the wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients. Combine well.
- Evenly distribute the oat mixture on the bottom of the pan and press down firmly. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and let the crust completely cool on a cooling rack.
Whipped Cream
- You will need a tall bowl and hand beaters or a stand mixer.
- Chill bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes just prior to beating.
- Turn chilled can upside down and open the bottom end. Pour out liquid and save for another recipe. Scoop out the solidified coconut and place in chilled bowl.
- Whip the coconut cream for 2 -3 minutes until it's fluffy and light. Add the sugar, salt and vanilla and whip for another minute. Place in the fridge if not using right away.
To Assemble the Pizza
- Layer on the coconut cream and load it up with your favorite fruit. You can make a design if you'd like. OR
- Cut the pie into individual slices with just the coconut cream and serve with the fruit on the table. That way everyone can pick their favorite combination. Enjoy!
