Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Cooling time: 30 minutes + 2 hours
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
A recipe from Josée Fiset, co-founder of the Boulangerie Première Moisson
"Because the crust is unbaked, it will remain sticky, so you can't remove the pie from the pan. Cut the slices right in the pan and serve."
Ingredients
For a 10" Pyrex pie plate
Soft granola bar crust
- 250 ml (1 cup) toasted sunflower seeds
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) toasted pumpkin seeds
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) dried cranberries
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) pitted dried prunes
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) sultana raisins
- 1 Tbsp. water, if necessary
Tapioca filling
- 700 ml (3 cups) plain unsweetened almond milk
- 3 Tbsp. quick tapioca
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of sea salt
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split, or 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 300 g (10 oz.) green grapes, halved
Method
Soft granola bar crust
- Toast the seeds in a skillet over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Grind all the ingredients together in a food processor to form a paste.
- Add a little water if required to form the paste.
- Press the mixture into the pie plate with your fingers.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Filling
- Place all the filling ingredients in a saucepan and whisk together. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
- Scrape the vanilla bean with a knife to remove the seeds and add to the tapioca mixture. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and cool to lukewarm, about 20 minutes.
