Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 500F.

Combine dry ingredient in a medium-large bowl from brown rice flour through baking powder, and whisk to combine.

Collect the coconut CREAM that has risen to the top of the chilled coconut milk can first in a liquid measuring cup. I use a large spoon but you may also have good luck with a small spatula. For the last bit I poured the milk through a fine strainer and collected the cream remained on top of the strainer. I had about 3/4 cup coconut cream in my can. Combine thin coconut milk with hazelnut milk or other non dairy milk to have a cup of liquid. Warm the thin liquid in a microwave until barely warm. If you heat it so that it is hot rather than warm, just let it sit until lukewarm. Whisk sugar into your warm dairy-free milk and then add your yeast. When it foams, pour into your bowl with the dry ingredients. Then add your coconut cream and whisked egg and fold together. You should have a fairly thick batter that is not runny but not firm enough to pick up with your hands.

Spoon out large rounds of dough onto your parchment paper about 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch high. (Or smaller, to your preference. Larger may be difficult to manage.) Smooth out top with a large spoon. If you like you can dampen your hands with water and make the tops really silky and smooth.

Bake in the oven on 500F until golden brown. In my rather freakish gas oven, it took about 15 minutes but yours may take less time so watch carefully. Then I finished them off under the broiler for a little extra browning. Watch them like a hawk during this step! Golden brown is one thing and char-grilled is quite another.

Sprinkle shredded coconut in the bottom of each small springform pan. Then put your pecans and dates in the food processor and process until you have a sticky, crumbly dough. Pat it into the bottom of your pans but not up the sides. Put your pans in the refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Drain and rinse your cashews and pine nuts. Put in blender with the rest of your ingredients and process until smooth. If you have too much in your blender for one batch, you can separate it and process it in two batches until smooth and then combine them. Pour the filling into your individual cheesecake molds and put the molds in the freezer to firm up- about 3 or 4 hours.

Variations:
Honey Lavender Un-cheesecake: Use raw honey as your sweetener for the filling. Sprinkle top with fresh lavender flowers or sprigs and dabs of honey as desired.

Strawberry Kiwi Un-cheesecake:
top with chopped fresh strawberry and kiwi

Blueberry Sauce Un-cheesecake:
after the cheesecake has been in the freezer an hour or two and is firm, use a knife so that it is no longer attached to the sides of the mold. Top with blueberry sauce and put back in freezer to harden. Reserve some sauce for drizzling later if you like.

Mango Un-cheesecake:
Top with slices of fresh mango.

*To serve, remove cheesecake from the freezer and carefully slide a knife around the edges of the mold so it is no longer attached to the side. gently remove from mold and then leave out at room temperature for 20 minutes or so (or put in refrigerator) until texture approximates cheesecake and is no longer frozen solid.

Combine in food processor, blend and chill. Serve on vegan nut cream or raw cheesecake.

Preheat oven to 400F.

Gently blend dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Then blend in shortening until you have course meal. Whisk together egg replacer (1 1/2 tsp. powder, 2 tbsp. warm water) and then add your coconut cream. Fold together and add your dates and spices.

Fold dough together until it is workable and put into a gallon freezer bag, rolling until you have a rectangle 3/4 inch thick. Cut out the sides of the bag, and then cut the dough into rectangles.

Baste dough with coconut cream and sprinkle generously with sugar.

Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Enjoy!

Preheat oven to 375. Put parchment paper on your favorite cookie sheet.

Whisk together your dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Put your wet ingredients into your stand mixer bowl and whip together until Shortening and brown sugar are thoroughly combined and creamy. (Alternatively, use a hand mixer, but I don’t recommend it once you add gluten-free flour.) Take your whisked egg alternative and fold it into the wet ingredients. Fold your dry ingredients into the wet until you have a nice, thick, cookie batter without any dry flour pockets. Stir in your additions.

Chill dough for an hour in the refrigerator, if you can stand waiting that long!

Drop ice-cream scoop (or serving tablespoon) rounds of dough onto the cookie sheet. Flatten cookies slightly as they don’t spread out much and won’t bake properly in the middle otherwise. Bake in pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are a light golden brown and feel firm to the touch.

Cool and remove from parchment paper. Enjoy!

Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine crust ingredients in a medium bowl, whisking flours together and then adding your shortening. Combine until dough starts forming pea-sized balls, and sprinkle in water one tablespoon at a time until you can form the dough into a ball. Once you have a ball of dough, carefully roll out on wax paper. If you have two pie tins, you can place one bottom-side up underneath the wax paper and place the second one over the dough. Invert and carefully peel off the wax paper to have a perfect pie crust.

Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven or until lightly browned.

Whisk filling ingredients together in a large bowl and fill your crust with the filling. Bake for 50 minutes or until pie has firmed up somewhat. You CAN greedily eat a slice before it chills, but it will be somewhat soft until it is chilled in the refrigerator overnight. For the most impressive pie, cool overnight.

Preheat oven to 375F. Throw sweet potato, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with “red” spice of choice. Bake for about 20 minutes and then turn sweet potatoes and bake another 20 minutes.

Whisk sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.

Meanwhile heat nonstick frypan or cast iron skillet on medium and add your oil. When it is warm, add your diced onion and mushrooms. As mushrooms release their liquid and become soft, add your greens and pour the almond butter coconut sauce into the pan on top of them. Combine ingredients thoroughly and season with garam masala, salt, and more of your chosen “red” spice. Let sauce thicken and then take off burner.

Add lime wedges for garnish and flavor. If you will be using in a pastry, add the juice and remove the wedges. You can fold in fresh cilantro and/or sprinkle it on rice or pastry if you will be serving the curry accordingly.

To make pastry (optional) combine pastry ingredients, form into 2 balls and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 375F. Place one ball in a large, gallon, freezer quality ziploc bag and roll it out inside the bag to your preferred thickness. If there is too much pastry for the bag, take some out and roll it later. Cut the edges of the bag when it has been rolled out and use it in mini tart pans, to line muffin tins, or even for a shaped pastry although I found it prone to cracking and not well suited for this application. I recommend using it for mini savory pie crusts.

Once you have lined your tart pans with dough, sprinkle them with freshly chopped cilantro and drizzle a little olive oil on them. Then you can fill the crust with your sweet potato curry and bake until golden brown. (Start checking at 15 minutes.)

Preheat oven to 375.

Cook spinach in large pot with small amount of water, rinse in cold water and cut into bitesized pieces. Drain and reserve.

Heat olive oil to medium in a nonstick fry pan. Add your brown rice flour and let it toast, combining thoroughly with the oil. Add garlic powder to taste and onion powder. Add your coconut milk slowly, whisking into the roux. When roux has dissolved into the milk, let thicken. If you think you want more liquid for your sauce, add more coconut milk slowly. When sauce has thickened satisfactorily, taste. Adjust seasoning. Then mix in your almond butter into sauce. Add salt, taste, and adjust seasonings. Fold spinach into sauce.

Pour spinach and sauce into pie crust and bake for 20 minutes or until crust is done.
