- Add almond flour, oats, shredded coconut and salt to a food processor. Blitz several times until well combined.
- Add coconut oil and the maple syrup and blitz again until you have the consistency of wet, sticky crumble.
- Transfer crumbly mixture to a form lined with baking paper and press it with your fingers to form the crust, leaving the edges higher. Place in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Add full fat coconut milk, starch, agar agar, lemon juice and maple syrup to a blender. Blend shortly, until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook for about 1 minute, whisking continuously, until thickened.
- Remove from heat, add the Biotona Superfood powders (Biotona Maqui powder and Biotona Beetroot powder) and whisk until well combined. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes, but come back and give it a whisk every 5-10 minutes.
- Pour cooled filling into the crust. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or until set.
