  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup cashews, soaked 3+hours and drained

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings Optional

  • Shaved dark chocolate
  • Fresh fruit or berries

Instructions

Base Crust

  • Note: Place the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making this pie to allow coconut cream to separate.
    Place walnuts into a food processer and process until broken down and crumbly. Add dates, cocoa and vanilla and continue to process until mixture is sticky and well combined.
    Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture and different sized “bits” in your pie base crust.
    Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan or dish evenly; refrigerate while making the filling.
      

Creamy Avocado Filling

  • Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.
    In a food processor, add all filling ingredients and blend until smooth. Depending on the power of your blender this might take a few minutes. Stop blending to scrape the sides and continue to blend until very smooth.
    Taste test add more honey or vanilla extract if you think it needs it.
    Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon,then place back in the refrigerator.
    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
    Garnish with whipped coconut cream (recipe below in notes) and/or shaved chocolate and fresh berries
    Slice into 8 or more smaller slices to serve.
