I use my vitamix to heat things up. cooked millet, brought to a boil sets up amazingly well. I would replace the 3 c. nut milks with 2 cups cooked millet… maybe a can of coconut cream, & enough water to keep it moving, dont’ destroy your blender, but add slowly, once it boils, its more runny. & instead of cornstarch I’d use 2 Tbs tapioca flour, boiled in the blender, with the millet, esp if I use some other kind of cream. I have not tried this specifically, so I can’t say it will turn out perfectly, but something along those lines should make it set up well, & handle some of the nut problems, unless coconut is a problem of course, but I was looking to see if I could find a carob crust, to add an avocado mint pie to…If not, I’ll make it up, but it’s always nice to have a recipe to bounce off of, this looks lovely, thank you! 🙂

Ya this didn’t set for me either and the crust was very crumbly and I followed the recipe exactly. Still tasty, just not a pie, more like a pudding with some crumbly bits….

Any non-dairy milk should work in the pudding. I think you could replace the almond meal in the crust with a gluten free bake mix. If the crust doesn’t adhere together try adding water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it does. Good luck.

Any chance you know of good substitutions for the almond products? I can’t do nuts, but I LOVE carob and this looks like a fabulous pie! (I also can’t do gluten or soy).

Thanks!

I tried this recipe exactly by the instructions, but did not set up in the frig after 4 hours. It did thicken on the double boiler, but although it chilled, did not cut well. It was still soft like pudding and the crust was pretty crumbly.

I think you mean almond meal. This is almonds ground fine. Trader Joe’s sells this in 1 pound bags. You can also make your own almond meal by grinding raw almonds in a food processor.

Information about the ingredients in my recipes is available on my web site bakewithdates.com.

I hope this helps.

I also really appreciate that you included the nutritional info! I have a question, though: What is “carob meal”? I’ve never heard of that one before.

The pie looks delish! 🙂
