Ingredients
Chocolate Crust:
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup dates pitted
- 3 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 TBS unsweetened coconut
- 2 TBS honey or pure maple syrup
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Chocolate Silk Pie Filling:
- ½ cup roasted cashews soaked for at least one hour
- 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips melted
- 1 12.3-oz package firm silken tofu, drained
- 3 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 TBS honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 TBS unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Coconut Whipped Cream (optional):
- 1 14 oz can coconut cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsppure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place ½ cup of cashews in a glass bowl and pour boiling water over them until fully submerged. Let sit for one hour then drain.
To make the crust:
- Very lightly grease a 9 or 10” deep-dish round pie plate. Set aside.
- Place pecans in the container of your Vitamix blender. Blend until pecans are crumbly (about 15 seconds) starting on low speed increasing to high.
- Add dates. Blend about 15 seconds, starting on low speed increasing to high, until mixture is crumbly.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until the mixture turns a dark chocolatey brown, slightly sticks together but is still crumbly. Stop blending before it gets too wet and sticky.
- Dump the mixture into the pie plate/baking dish and press into the shape of the pan.
- Refrigerate the crust while you make the filling.
To make the filling:
- Melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave), until smooth. Set aside.
- Put all the ingredients into the container of your Vitamix and blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high, until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour mixture into prepared crust and store in the fridge until chilled. This gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits.
Coconut whipped cream:
- Chill coconut cream in the refrigerator overnight and do not shake it.
- Place the container of your standing mixer in the refrigerator to chill for at least 10 minutes (or longer).
- Carefully opened the can of chilled whipped cream and transfer the top, thickened cream to the chilled mixing bowl. (save the liquid for a different use)!
- Place whisk attachment on mixer and beat cream for about 30 seconds.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Spread on top of pie immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and serve alongside the pie!
