The Deconstructed Pie (No-Bake, 5 Minutes, Ridiculously Good)
We love experimenting with our raw organic walnuts. Probably more than we even realize, since we throw them into almost everything we make. Every once in a while we stumble onto a combination so out of this world it has to be shared. We call this one our "deconstructed pie," and yes, it's no-bake.
It Starts With Burrata
We could eat burrata every single day. A little balsamic vinegar, a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, and we're happy campers. If you've never had burrata, today's your lucky day. The name means "buttered" in Italian, and the texture is basically the cheese version of a lava cake. Round, slightly firm on the outside, creamy and oozy in the middle. Who doesn't love oozy cheese?
Then We Got a Little Reckless
A few weeks ago, we tossed a nectarine into our usual burrata-and-balsamic combo. It was on the verge of turning and needed to be used, so in it went. The result was divine. Today, we took it one step further and added our raw walnuts. We'll admit it, there was a small freak-out in the kitchen. Honestly, we're not sure why it took us this long to add walnuts before. If you want a treat that's fast (under 5 minutes), easy, and unbelievably good, this is it.
Winter tip: swap the nectarine for blueberries - just as delicious.
Ingredients
Serves one
- 1 ball of burrata mozzarella (halve it to share between two)
- 1 small nectarine, cut into chunks or sliced (use ½ per person if your fruit runs large)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or more, if you're like us)
- A small handful of broken/chopped CORKY'S NUTS Raw Organic Walnuts
- A drizzle of CORKY'S NUTS Cold Pressed Organic Walnut Oil
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
Directions
Arrange it however you like. There's no wrong way to build this. We layer the nectarine at the bottom, add the burrata on top, then break up the walnuts by hand and scatter them around and over the cheese. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and walnut oil, then a pinch of Himalayan sea salt for that perfect salty-sweet balance.
Feel free to switch it up depending on whatever seasonal fruit you have on hand. That's half the fun.
Makes a decadent snack or an effortlessly impressive dessert for you or your guests. Enjoy!
