Servings: 6-8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 ºF

Using coconut oil or butter, grease the bottom and sides of an 8 or 9 inch pie dish. Set aside.

Using a blender, whip the coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup, coconut flour, brown rice flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt till smooth and frothy. (Can also be whisked vigorously by hand.)

Pour roughly half an inch of batter into the greased dish and bake it in the oven until it is lightly set – just a few minutes. Take the baking dish out of the oven and add the blueberries in an even layer. Pour on the remaining batter.

Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges, and set in the center.

Serve at room temperature, with a dollop of coconut milk whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, if desired.

*For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)

Servings: 20
Preparation Time: 1 1/2 hours

In a medium-size heavy bottom sauce pan melt ghee/or coconut oil on low heat. Add shredded coconut and toast it for 30 seconds. Add coconut flour and mix well with the shredded coconut. Add 2 cups of milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously to avoid burning. When the milk is fully absorbed by the coconut, the mixture will start to lump together and look dry (approximately 20 minutes). Lower the heat and add the cardamom powder, mango pulp and sugar. On low heat stir well till combined and then turn off heat when everything comes together to form a lump.

Let the mixture cool.

Grease a 7×5 inch pan with coconut oil or ghee. Pat the mixture evenly into the pan. Cut into 20 squares and garnish each with a raisin then refrigerate for an hour.
