Yummy! Thank you so much to our guest blogger Rosemarie Ritan, for this healthy sweet little treat.  You can’t go wrong with our fresh organic strawberries!  .

Here are the materials you’ll need:

a food processor

a high powered blender , (if you don’t have one, a Nutribullet works as well)

 

Crust Ingredients:

 

• 1 lb pitted fresh dates (more if you like it rich and sweeter)
• 1 c dried mulberries (1/3 cup fresh mulberries makes it more moist)
• 1-2 cps dried figs
• 1 small pinch of vanilla bean (or small drop of vanilla extract)
• 1-2 dashes of cinnamon

 

Put ingredients in processor and mix until the crust has a cookie dough texture. Add the ingredients into a pie or cake pan.  Shape the crust by pushing the ingredients with your fingers.

 

Now time for the next layer!

3 pints of strawberries (save some for the topping and glaze)

Crushed walnuts or pecans for a nutty taste

Now for the fun part!

Put a layer of sliced strawberries on the crust
