Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 6–8 sheets of phyllo dough (plant-based)
  • Plant-based butter, for brushing

Filling

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (natural)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup raw wildflower honey (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons raw wildflower honey (natural), for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Phyllo Dough: Gently thaw the phyllo sheets according to package instructions. Lay one sheet into your baking dish and brush generously with plant-based butter. Repeat layering and butter brushing with 6-8 sheets to form a crisp and flaky base.
  2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix almond flour, cinnamon, lemon zest, chopped walnuts, and natural gelling agent until combined. In another bowl, whisk coconut cream, raw wildflower honey, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the creamy mixture to achieve a thick, luscious filling.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling evenly over the layered phyllo crust. Cover with another 6-8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with plant-based butter as before. Carefully seal the edges to encase the filling.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake pie for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush the hot surface with raw wildflower honey (natural) to create a shiny glaze.
  5. Cool and Set: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature so the filling sets with a silky, firm texture, ready for slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, thawed phyllo dough for the best flaky texture.
  • Brush each phyllo layer generously with plant-based butter to enhance flakiness and golden color.
  • Apply honey glaze while the pie is hot for a glossy finish that locks in moisture and sweetness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients like coconut cream and almond flour for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to maintain neat, firm slices.
