Ingredients
  • CRUST:
  • 1 cup walnuts or pecans
  • ¾ cup oats
  • ¾ cup sugar, organic
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup flour (I used freshly ground whole wheat)
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • TOPPING:
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • ½ cup sugar, organic
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla
  • 1½ cups frozen berries, organic and slightly defrosted
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips, semisweet
  • 3 cups whipped cream, homemade
Instructions
  1. CRUST:
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Place nuts in food processor and pulse until chopped well, then add in oats and pulse again. Continue adding the rest of the ingredients and pulse as needed while combining. Grease a 9 x 13 pyrex pan and press crust into pan. Bake crust by itself for about 20-25 minutes. Place on cooling rack to cool.
  4. TOPPING:
  5. In mixer, blend cream cheese, sugar and vanilla till creamy.
  6. Add in slightly thawed berries, and mix well. Mix in half of your chocolate chips till well combined. If you don't have mini chocolate chips, you can use regular. I put them in the coffee grinder to make into smaller chocolate bits.
  7. Fold in homemade whipped cream, and then spread onto cooled crust. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the top.
  8. Place in freezer till frozen, but can be eaten at any time.
