Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 c. almonds
  • 8 dates, pitted
  • 1 c. rolled oats
  • 1/3 c. cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 c. coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup

For the Filling

  • 1 c. cashews, soaked for 30 minutes
  • 6 oz. dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 c. natural cane sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions
 

For the Crust

  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a food processor, process the almonds for about a minute. Add all other ingredients, and process for about a minute, until well combined.
  • Spray a pie pan with coconut oil and press the pie crust into the pan. Wet your fingers to help spread the crust, or wet the back of a spoon and use the spoon to press the pie crust into the pan. Then poke several holes into the crust using a fork.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes, remove from the oven, and cool completely.

For the Filling

  • While the pie crust is cooling, boil water and pour over the cashews. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Rinse and drain the cashews, and place in a high powered blender with 1 c. water. Blend for about 1 minute, until the cashews become creamy.
  • In a medium pot, combine the chocolate, sugar, salt, vanilla, and cashew cream, and cook over medium low heat, stirring often, until chocolate is melted.
  • Pour the chocolate over the pie crust, and move into the fridge, uncovered, for one hour.
  • After 1 hour, either cover up the pie or serve and enjoy!
