From Dr. Fuhrman’s book Disease Proof Your Child:

Carob-Avocado Cream Pie

Crust:
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
½ cup crushed raw macadamia nuts
2 date-coconut rolls or 4 medjool dates

Mash coconut, macadamia, and dates together and keep kneading until well mixed. Press the mixture into a glass pie pan.

Creamy Filling:
2 tablespoons raw carob powder
12 raw cashews
1 avocado
3 medjool or 8 regular-size dates

Blend the carob, cashews, avocado, and dates together in a Vita-Mix or food processor until creamy and smooth. Spoon filling over crust and chill by freezing for one hour before serving. Serves 4.

Banana Nut Cookies

¼ cup pitted dates
¼ cup regular soy milk
1 cup walnuts
1 cup pecans
1 cup grated coconut
4 ripe bananas
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Cover dates in soy milk and soak overnight. Place the nuts and coconut in a food processor with the metal S blade and grind to a coarse meal. Add the bananas, dates (with the soaking soy milk), and cinnamon and mix to form the dough. Take the thick mixture out of the food processor and spoon onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Bake in the oven at a low heat (250 degrees) for 30 minutes. Yields 25 cookies.
