Process:
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees.

Coconut (Haupia) and Chocolate Pie
Ingredients:Ground pecans, enough for a 9-inch pie pan
Unsalted butter, melted
½ cup arrowroot
1 cup So Delicious coconut milk
1 ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup palm sugar (or date sugar)
1 cup water
Process:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a food processor, grind enough pecans for a 9-inch pie plate. Combine the ground pecans with enough melted butter to hold the nuts together. Press into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake nut crust for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the So Delicious coconut milk, the canned coconut milk, and the palm sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve the arrowroot in the water. Bring coconut mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and slowly whisk in the arrowroot. Continue stirring over low heat until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
- Divide the coconut pudding evenly into 2 bowls. Mix the chocolate chips into one portion, ensuring that all chips melt completely. Spread the chocolate mixture on the bottom of the pre-baked nut crust. Pour the remaining portion of the pudding on top of the chocolate and spread smooth. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, garnish the pie with shredded unsweetened coconut and/or dark chocolate.
Notes:
- If preferred, palm/date sugar or plain stevia may be added to the nut crust.
- Alternative sugars (like in this recipe) will produce a coconut pudding that is the color of coffee-n-cream and will not have the intense sweetness of cane sugar.

Creamy Macadamia Shrimp

Ingredients:(Makes 2-3 servings)
1 pound of raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 shallot, chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)
1/2 cup macadamia nuts
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons coconut milk
Fresh lime juice to taste
Process:
- Puree shallot, salt and macadamia nuts in a food processor until fairly smooth.
- Melt butter in a pan over high heat and add shrimp. Sauté one minute then add shallot-macadamia mixture. Stir the shrimp several times while they continue to sauté for three more minutes. Add coconut milk to the shrimp and cook one minute more.
- Remove from heat and squeeze a generous amount of lime juice on top to taste.
Dark Chocolate Macadamia Bark Sprinkled With Sea Salt

Ingredients:9-10 ounces dark chocolate (aim for 85 90% cacao), chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
1/4 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Process:
- Heat 2/3 of the chocolate in the microwave or on the stove. If using a microwave, heat the choco-late in 30-second increments, stopping to stir vigorously each time. It should take 2 minutes or less to melt the chocolate. If using the stove, create a double boiler by filling a pot with a few inches of water then balance or hold a smaller pot filled with the chocolate just above the water line. As the water gently boils, the steam will melt the chocolate in the smaller pot without burning it. Stir oc-casionally, removing from heat as soon as the chocolate melts completely.
- Remove the melted chocolate from the microwave or stove. Add the remaining hard chocolate to the hot melted chocolate, stirring vigorously until it melts as well.
- Stir the macadamia nuts into the chocolate.
- Line a rimmed dish of your choice with parchment paper or wax paper. The size of the dish will de-termine how thick the bark is. A 2-quart square baking dish makes thicker bark (like in the photos). A larger dish will obviously yield thinner bark.
- Spread the chocolate evenly in the rimmed dish. Sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, longer if chocolate isnt solid yet. Use a knife to cut the bark into squares or misshapen pieces. Store the bark at room temperature.

Primal Pumpkin Pie Recipe

The crust:1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup melted butter
1 tsp sea salt
The filling:
1 ½ cups of pumpkin puree*
3 eggs
1 cup coconut milk
½ cup honey
1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon sea salt
Process:
- Prepare the crust: Combine melted butter, almond flour and salt in a bowl and mix well. Transfer to a 9 inch pie plate and press evenly into the bottom and sides of the plate.
- Prepare the filling: Combine all filling ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Gently pour the filling into the crust and bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes or until the center of the pie 'sets' (is no longer liquidy). Be sure to check on the pie about halfway through. If the crust starts to get too dark attach strips of aluminum foil to the perimeter, covering the crust, to keep it from getting burnt.
- Halve 2 small pie pumpkins, remove the seeds, and slice them into large wedges. Rub the wedges with a little oil and roast on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for about an hour. At that point you can scoop out the soft flesh from under the skin and puree in a blender and food processor.
