Ingredients

  • CRUST:
  • - 1 1/2 c pecans
  • - 7-8 medjool dates pitted
  • - 1/4 c cocoa powder
  • - pinch sea salt
  • VANILLA CASHEW CREAM LAYER
  • - 1 c cashews
  • - 1/2 c coconut oil liquid
  • - 4-6 medjool dates pitted
  • - 1/2 - 1 c water as needed
  • - 2 tsp vanilla
  • CHOCOLATE CASHEW CREAM LAYER
  • - 1 1/2 c cashews
  • - 3/4 c coconut oil liquid
  • - 8-10 medjool dates pitted
  • - 3/4 - 1 1/2 c water as needed
  • - 2 tsp vanilla
  • - 1/3 c cocoa powder

Instructions

  • For crust, put ingredients in food processor and pulse until just combined. You want ingredients to stick together. Press into the bottom of a 9-10" springform pan and put in freezer while you make the cream.
  • Soak all cashews for 10 minutes and strain.
  • Place 1 c. of the cashews in high powered blender - a VitaMix or a BlendTec are the best.
  • For Vanilla Cashew Cream layer, add 1/2 c water to start and additional ingredients for vanilla cream layer. Blend slowly into a cream. If it's too thick to blend, slowly add water as needed. It will be hard to blend because it's so thick but blend it slowly and it will become creamy!
  • Once it is a creamy mixture, pour into springform pan, on top of frozen crust.
  • Return pie to freezer and chill until this layer is solid.
  • For chocolate cream layer, repeat steps as with vanilla cashew layer. After cashews are soaked, add 1 1/2 c. to blender with other chocolate cream layer ingredients. Blend until puréed and creamy. Add more water as you need. And if you need it sweeter, add additional dates as needed for sweetness.
  • Pour on top of solid vanilla cashew layer and chill in fridge to set for several hours, or for 1 hour in the freezer.
  • Store in fridge and enjoy this creamy treat! I love it served chilled.
