Instructions

1 Soak the dates in filtered water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften, then drain.
2 Blend the dates, nuts, spices, salt and half of the coconut in a food processor
until a firm ball is formed.
3 Press the filling into a glass pie dish, making sure there’s no space near the
edges. Put into the freezer to chill.
4 Soak the dates in filtered water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften, then drain.
5 In a food processor, blend half of the loquats (no need to peel them) with the
lemon juice and dates until smooth. Chop the other half of the loquats and place
into a mixing bowl. Pour the blended loquats over the chopped loquats, mix
together and add any additional spices, to taste.
6 Spread the fruit mixture on top of the chilled crust and chill again for another
1 to 2 hours. Before serving, top the pie with the remaining shredded coconut
and garnish with edible flowers, if desired.
