Creative plant-based recipes from the magical berry forest

CITRUS PIZZA PIE and the beginning of a magical year

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Citrus Pizza Pie. Vegan, gluten-free, myberryforest.comHi there all you citrus lovers (and everyone else 😉 )! It’s been a while since I last posted as it’s been a super busy beginning of 2017. My goal for this year is to create magical recipes – vegan, gluten-free, nourishing, balanced recipes with a touch of magic to brighten up everyday life. This deliciously fruity citrus pizza pie is a perfect example of making the ordinary (simple pie) extraordinary – with playful colors, surprising tangy & sweet flavors, and wholesome ingredients. What a way to start a new (blog) year!

This pizza pie is actually an updated version of two of my previous pizza pies: fig pizza pie and persimmon pizza pie  I just tweaked the crust a bit (switched coconut oil to coconut butter, added a bit more sweetness) and added a beet-lemon cashew yogurt topping instead of a sweet cashew cream one. The cashew yogurt requires a bit of planning ahead (make yourself a note: *remember to soak cashews*) but otherwise this colorful pie is super easy and quick to make.

It’s fairly healthy too (like all the sweets on my blog): made of a mixture of nuts and sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar. The sprinkles are totally optional *definitely NOT refined sugar free* but I love to add them on top of baked treats just to make everyday life seem a bit more…sweet & magical.

Citrus Pizza Pie. Vegan, gluten-free, myberryforest.comI seriously need ALL the magic I can get in this hectic phase of life. Life with three under 7 year olds can get a little overwhelming at times (every day to be honest). Luckily I’ve found a way to enjoy this absurd chaos: I use food to create good vibes in the Berry house – perhaps not a big surprise to those who have been following my Instagram journey.

It can be as simple as making a pizza (or pizza pie 🙂 ) on Mondays, getting my kids involved in recipe testing (they are becoming super experts in taste testing my sweet treats), baking a giant chocolate chip cookie for the weekend, making nice creams as an evening snack or topping baked treats (and morning oatmeal 😉 ) with sprinkles.

The most magical moment of the day takes place at dinner time when all five of us gather around the table. I sometimes sit back, take a moment to observe and enjoy all the love sparkling around. The food I’ve cooked with love brings our family together, it unites us in a magical way. Some days that is all the magic I need.

I hope you stay tuned for more recipes from the forest!

With love (and sprinkles),

Tiina
