Raw Blueberry Cobbler

Usually when I see samples at the market, I pass them by assuming that it's probably not vegan.  Not so at Sevananda Natural Foods Market!  Chef Joi was sampling her raw, vegan blueberry cobbler recipe and it was absolutely delicious.  Another reason why I enjoy shopping at my co-op.  

I decided to bring it to a potluck and it was a huge hit, and even better when paired with some vegan ice cream.  Chef Joi, you are a genious!  Oh, and it only takes like 15 minutes tops. 

Crust topping ingredients:
3 cups dry pecans
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup pitted dates

Place pecans and salt in the food processor and process until flour-like.  Then add the rest of the ingredients and process until dough-like.  (It can still be crumbly).  Place half in the bottom of your dish, then place the rest in a bowl for later.

Syrup Ingredients:
3/4 cup of pitted dates
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh of frozen-- I used a combo)
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup water (or less)

No need to clean out the food processor, just add these syrup ingredients and process until smooth.  Should still be thick.

Filling:
1 1/2 Cups blueberries

Put the berries in a large mixing bowl and toss with the syrup, making sure to cover completely.  Then pour on top of crust, and cover with the rest of the crust.  No baking involved-- just enjoy!
