This is my go-to raw crust recipe–> the perfect base for any raw dessert, or even a raw “crumble” topping!
Raw Graham Cracker Crust
Author: Detoxinista.com
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 5″ pan
You can use this crust as the base for any raw dessert, or as a crumbly topping!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or stevia, to taste)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Grind pecans in a food processor until crumbly. (Be careful not to over-process, or the oils will be release from the nuts, leaving you with a more glossy, oily crust!)
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blend in food processor until it all sticks together, like cookie dough. Press the dough into a greased or lined pan, and place it in the freezer to set.
Notes
Double this recipe to fill a traditional 9″ pan.

This crust is so tasty, I like to eat it straight out of my food processor! (Oddly enough, it reminds me of the Mexican Wedding Cookies I always enjoy at Christmas.)
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I would love a VitaMix for just that — making my own nut butters. Yum, I love cashews.
I’ve always been interested in colon cleansing — I just have never actually made the phone call to make an appointment. I’ll check out that Raw Food book, thanks!
And the weekends are totally made for splurging. I’m getting ready for brunch and mimosas pretty soon here!
You had such a spectacular day!
aaaaah i need a vitamix! or i should just start making my own nut butters…
I think it is great you sharing your story of detox, colonics, and all. We talk about all our stomach issues, haha.
Your desserts look great!!
omg – cashew butter is MY FAVORITE!! i really should just make it instead of buying it…it doesn’t seem so hard.
Cheesecake pudding? YES PLEASE.
Oooo you are killing me over here! Look how delicious this looks! I am coming over

Interesting. First I love crusts – perfect for cheesecake!
How does that book allow you meat, cheese, etc…?! That’s interesting considering it seems the opposite of most detoxes. The very reason I hate the word “detox” I guess – because eating just juices or veggies may be appropriate for some…but it’s not sustainable or overly healthy for most. Especially when it comes to losing muscle…

[...] When someone makes a claim that they have a recipe for cheesecake made out of zucchini that tastes “surprisingly” like the real thing, well that is something I have to eat to believe. So here we go! First I started with her Raw crust (recipe HERE): [...]
is it possible to substitute pecans with some other nut, in case someone is allergic to them?
Yes, any other nut should work, and you can adjust the flavors to taste, if necessary.
