First it was Caramel & Coconut Latte Overnight Oats and now it’s a caramel pecan pie. Now you understand why I posted a date caramel tutorial? 😉 Seriously though, to me, fall is all about pumpkin and salted caramel. And soup. There’s nothing better than going on a hike when the leaves are changing and coming home to a comforting bowl of soup. Ah I love fall!
I have so many recipes to share with you guys in the next few months! I just need to take the time and write the post which is not always easy. The internship is certainly taking up a lot of my time.
Speaking of which, I can’t believe it’s already my fourth week of internship. This year will be gone before I know it! It’s so exciting and stressful not knowing what my life is going to be after I’m done with school. I have so many questions and it’s hard not having any answers when you’re a control freak and you love to plan everything… Hah! But at the same time, I feel free. I can do whatever I want when I graduate. A new beginning! But for now, all I can do is focus on my internship (and this blog).
Okay, back to the recipe. I feel like I’m all over the place today!
This has to be the easiest pie I’ve ever made. All you need is 6 ingredients (6!!!) and 20 minutes. Easy, right?! And you only need a food processor (or high-speed blender) and a pie dish, which means you’ll hardly have any dishes to clean.
You start by processing your crust ingredients in the food processor, you transfer the mixture in the pie dish and you bake it for 10 minutes. Then, you make your date caramel (you don’t even have to clean the food processor in between). Once the crust is done, you spread the caramel on top and you let it chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours… You don’t have to wait, but it makes it easier to cut. You can even top it with pecans and coconut whipped cream if you want to get fancy.
It’s that easy.
Perfect healthy Thanksgiving dessert right? I think so. 🙂
I used this recipe for the date caramel filling.

This recipe is so amazing! It completely exceeded my expectations. The combination of the nutty crust and the sweet filling is amazing! I served it with toasted pecans and vanilla ice cream. I will definitely make this again!
Also, I made the yogurt fruit tart the other night. It was very tasty as well! I wish I had found this blog during my sugar-fast :( but better late than never! These recipes are so creative and unique! I almost gave up searching for no added sugar recipes because so many of them are like “I used this sugar-free sweetener—Splenda” or some other fake sweetener.
Thanks so much for all the work you’ve put into your blog!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment. I'm so happy you liked both recipes! And I hope you'll enjoy the others you'll try. There are plenty of fruit-sweetened treats to choose from. :)
