Rhubarb pie

[Agoodenough]

Over the last few months or so I have been improving my vegan repertoire as I don’t follow recipes and like to make it up as I go along, like I did before I re learnt how to cook again after becoming vegan. Especially in the last few weeks I have wanted to make vegan versions of sweets and puddings, using little or no refined sugar. Today I made a rhubarb pie which I made up after I was given some rhubarb. I made a base of mixed nuts, 1 date and a small spoon of maple syrup, blitzed together and squashed into a cake tin. I then boiled the rhubarb and hadn’t figured how runny it would be (prob over Cooked) so I added 1/2 teaspoon of agar agar powder. Stirred it in and put it in the fridge. It worked a treat. (So the agar agar would work on helping to set any fruit I would imagine).Then I poured the liquid from a can of coconut milk and put to the side and whisked the remaining cream that was left with a little real vanilla essence. Sprinkled cocao powder on top. I think this is the stage that you would put it in the fridge for half an hour, but I couldn’t wait that long. It was delicious and very light. The cream was like a cloud on top. It would be the sort of thing you could impress your friends with at a dinner party it was that nice and so simple.Jerry this would go well with your lovely cottage pie! The photo isn’t great but you get the idea.

Hi Agoodenough, this looks really delicious and you're right this is just my thing as I do love rhubarb and I love coconut cream, so I'd be up for some...

You certainly have improved your repertoire by the foods you've made recently and I'm impressed, as I love healthy sweet treats. 😊

Thank you Jerry. What with these sweet treats and cashew milk I suppose I just need to be careful not to eat too many nuts but I think that ship has sailed Haha!
