Peach Cobbler
Crust
1 1/2 cups shredded dried coconut
1 1/2 cups walnuts, soaked and dehydrated, or raw macadamia nuts
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Dash cayenne
1/2 cup pitted dates
Peach Filling
4 cups sliced peaches, fresh, or frozen, thawed, and drained
1/2 cup date paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
To make the crust: In a food processor, process the dried coconut until it is coarsely ground. Add the walnuts, sea salt, and cayenne and process into a coarse meal. Add the dates and process until the mixture sticks together when pressed between your thumb and forefinger.
To make the filling: Place 1 1/2 cups of the peaches, the date paste, lemon juice, and nutmeg in a Vita-Mix or blender and process until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Chop the remaining peaches into bite-sized chunks. Add the chopped peaches to the blended peach mixture and stir to combine.
Press half of the crust in the bottom of a shallow 9-inch square glass baking dish. Add the filling. Press the remaining crust lightly on top, allowing some of the fruit filling to peek through. Chill the cobbler for at least 1 hour to set. Serve at room temperature, or warmed in a dehydrator set at 125 degrees F for 30 minutes.
