These vegan strawberry cream pies are the perfect dessert for all occasions! They can be left frozen for a wonderful cool treat on a hot day or enjoy with some cream for some much needed comfort food!
These pies have the perfect combination of coconut and strawberries.
They are so easy to make, I'm sure your children will enjoy making these with you!
They take an hour or two to set so if you make them in the morning they should be ready for a lovely after lunch treat.
The base is a coconut and cashew mix and the filling is mostly strawberries.
You can easily change the fruit from these if you prefer raspberries or anything else.

Strawberries;
Strawberries are packed with vitamin C, magnese, antioxidant and potassium.
They are beneficial to heart health and blood sugar control.
They may help prevent some cancers.
Coconut;
Coconut contains protein and fiber.
It may health boost heart health, support weight loss, stabalize blood sugar, improve immunity and ma benefit your brain.
Cashews;
Cashews are rich in nutrients
They may help with weight loss, improve heart healht and may be beneficial with type 2 diabetes.
You can use the filling to create a super tasty mousse! Place the mix into your chosen dishes and place in the fridge until they are set. This may take several hours.
To make these vegan strawberry cream pies;
Add the coconut, cashews, syrup and vanilla essence into a food processor.
Process until the mix starts to clump together.
Share the mix between each of the 12 cases. I used roughly 1 tsp per case.
Press the mix down into the cases. Try and keep the mix as evenly spread as possible.
Place this in the fridge while you make the filling.
To make the filling;
Place the cashews, oil, coconut milk (only use the solid white cream), syrup, strawberries, lemon juice and vanilla essence into a medium saucepan.
Heat the mix on low until the the coconut milk has melted and the mix has warmed.
Use a hand blender to blitz the mix until completely smooth.
You may still end up with some strawberry seeds. If you want to avoid the seeds, put the mix through a sieve before trasferring the mix to the cases.
Fill the cases with the mix, I found it was about 1/4 cup per case.
Place this in the freezer until they have completely set. This should only take an hour or two.
Remove from the cases and enjoy frozen or let defrost for 30 minutes for a lovely soft cream pie.
I hope you love these as much as I do!
