Ingredients
  

Crust:

Pie Filling

  • 3/4 lb. fresh rhubarb
  • 1/4 lb. fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup red wine – sweeter than dry I used a Syrah
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 Qt. ice cream or non-dairy “ice cream” I used So Delicous® Creamy Vanilla

Whipped Cream Layer:

Instructions

  • Chill coconut milk by putting the unopened can in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight – this will help the milk to separate.

Crust

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Line a pie plate with parchment or aluminum foil, then spray lightly with oil. Set aside.
  • Using a large food processor or blender, chop the protein bars and almonds, pulsing until they are all finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in melted butter with a fork until totally integrated. All protein bars are different, so if your mixture is too wet, add gfJules Gluten Free Flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until it is no longer oily or wet, but will still stick together when pressed into a pie plate; if the mixture is too dry, add more melted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time until it will hold together when pressed into a pie plate.
  • Bake crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly browning and the butter is sizzling. Remove to cool on a wire rack. Do not overcook, or the crust will become brittle when cut.

Filling & Compote

  • Meanwhile, wash and slice rhubarb lengthwise, then cut off the leaves and ends. Dice the stalks into 1/2"-long slices. Wash and cap strawberries, then slice.
  • Bring wine, sugar and water to a boil in a medium-sized pot, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce to simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the liquid is starting to reduce; stir periodically. Add diced rhubarb and strawberries and increase heat; cook an additional 5 minutes to further thicken the compote. Pour into another bowl and refrigerate to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to the freezer for another 5 minutes.
  • Soften the ice cream by storing in the refrigerator for 15 minutes; chill bowl and mixer's paddle attachment in the refrigerator, as well.
  • Spoon ice cream into the chilled bowl and mix on low speed until smooth and creamy. Scoop 2 cups of lightly drained fruit from the compote into the mixer bowl. Reserve any remaining compote by covering and storing in the refrigerator. Mix until consistently incorporated throughout the ice cream. Spoon into cooled crust and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Freeze until firm -- at least 1 hour.

Whipped Cream

  • Before preparing the whipped cream, chill a metal mixing bowl and whisk attachment or beaters in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • Remove coconut milk can from refrigerator and open the lid with a can opener. Gently scoop out the thick cream from the top half of the can and spoon into the chilled bowl. Reserve the separated coconut water in the bottom of the can for other uses.
  • Beat the cream with the chilled whisk attachment or beaters until thick and fluffy – at least 3-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift confectioner’s sugar and mix with pudding powder. Stir in the sugar mixture with the cream and beat again until integrated. Add the sour cream and whip again until mixed. Remove frozen pie and spoon onto the top of the pie, reserving some extra for topping each piece of pie. Smooth the top
    with a spatula and return to the freezer until ready to serve. Cover and chill remaining whipped cream until serving.
  • To serve, remove the pie from the freezer and lift it out of the pie plate by pulling up on the parchment/aluminum foil (or you may leave the pie in the pie plate if that is easier for you). Run warm water over a large, sharp knife, then cut and plate each piece. Top with compote and a small dollop of extra whipped cream.
