A light, summery no-bake pie that is safe for those following an SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet). The SCD is a common diet option for those suffering from celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. The diet severely limits carbohydrates and so finding a dessert that is allowable and enjoyable can be challenging.
The crust on this pie is made of almond flour and coconut oil, pressed into a pie pan and chilled. This is great for those who struggle to make pie dough, which needs to be rolled out and baked. It’s easy and bake-free!
The filling is made with creamy coconut milk, fresh strawberries and honey. Whirred in a blender and then thickened with gelatin, it is chilled in the refrigerator to create a cool, sweet, summery treat!

To make:
Place all of the crust ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a fork until crumbly. Pour into a glass pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you assemble the filling.
Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, honey, lemon juice and salt. Blend on high until liquid and creamy.
