raw vegan mince pie recipe

Last year I shared a recipe for raw vegan christmas pudding.
This year I made mince pies and they were pretty amazing.

One person tried one and she got 10 more to take home
Another person claimed that they were so similar to traditional vegetarian mince pies.

Extra steps can make a huge difference in texture and flavour of finished product. Soaking dried fruits in Rooibos tea (you can also try other flavourful tea) and fermenting the mixture really make these pies deeper in flavour. Dehydrating these pies plays an important role here as well.

Hope you get to make these in time for christmas!

enjoy 🙂
