Keep those ovens turned off for a little while longer!  Here’s another no-bake recipe perfect for a hot summer day!

A simple, wholesome and healthy dessert that is a fun fruit filled twist on pizza!

A creamed coconut filling, chocolate crust, fresh fruit and a drizzle of cacao sauce for good measure!

I was inspired from this beautiful dessert pizza and used creamed coconut by Let’s Do…Organic. Can’t find creamed coconut where you live?  Use canned coconut milk and make coconut whipped cream instead!  Or try out the cashew cream filling in the original recipe!  For a raw/grain free crust, substitute raw nuts in place of the oats.  You can mix up the fruit topping too…blueberries and bananas would be a splendid combination!
