This frozen beet white chocolate pie is creamy, lightly spiced, and a gorgeous natural magenta color on a nutty pistachio crust. This delicious pie can be topped with whipped cream ghosts with eyes and served for Halloween, topped with sugar hearts and served for Valentine's Day, or served as a unique holiday pie.
Add the pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend/process the pistachios until they look like flour. Do not over grind. (See notes in ingredient section of post above for more on pistachio flour.)
Add the coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl, microwave it for 30 seconds to melt it.
Then stir it into the ground pistachios with the sweetener.
Press the pistachio mixture firmly into a 9.5 inch pie pan with your hands or the back of a spoon.
Flling
Make sure to chill a can of coconut cream for 2 to 4 hours, preferable overnight.
If you do not have a roast beet, then roast one until soft. Usually baking it at 400 degrees for 45-55 minutes is enough.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave it at 30 second intervals. it took me 2 rounds of 30 second intervals.
Roughly slice the roasted beet and add it to a blender along with the melted white chocolate, the solid coconut cream (not any of the liquid), cardamom, ginger, vanilla, salt, and sweetener. Blend until smooth.
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Or, use a fork and dribble a design through the top. Then, cover the top with plastic wrap.
Freeze. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight, until firm.
Serve
Rest and slice. Take the pie out of the freezer, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then slice.
Enjoy quickly. Eat within 30 minutes, or return the slices to the freezer until you are ready to enjoy them.
Notes
Refrigerate the coconut milk beforehand and use only the solid part.
Let the pie sit for 5 minutes before slicing so the knife glides through.
Return any leftover slices to the freezer promptly. This pie is best enjoyed straight from the freezer and does not hold its shape for long at room temperature.
Press the crust firmly so it holds together when sliced.
