Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed almonds and dates. Mix thoroughly and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Make the blueberry chia filling: In a blender, combine the blueberries, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
Thicken the chia filling: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl. Stir in the chia seeds evenly. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumps, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Assemble the pie: Pour the thickened blueberry chia filling over the chilled almond-date crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top for an even surface. Refrigerate the entire pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set fully.
Serve: Once set, garnish the pie with fresh blueberries, blackberries, and edible flowers if desired. Carefully slice and serve chilled for a refreshing and nutritious dessert.

Notes

You can substitute almond blend with crushed walnuts or pecans for a different flavor and texture in the crust.
If you prefer a sweeter pie, adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey in the filling to your taste.
Use fresh or frozen blueberries based on availability; frozen blueberries work well and may make blending easier.
Letting the chia filling sit longer enhances the texture and thickens the pie more thoroughly.
For a nut-free crust, consider using crushed gluten-free oats mixed with dates.
