Frozen Pie!
I don't experiment that often with the raw food sweets, but I wanted to give it a try since the few things I have made are in the form of a ball. Tasty balls, but still just roundish lumps. Sometimes you just need a new shape to play with. So the result of a need for a new shape and a creative outlet turned into a frozen (mostly raw) pie using mostly locally grown and wild foods.
