5-Ingredient Raw Chocolate Silk Pie

You will need:

• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
• 1 1/2 cups raw pecans
• 16 oz silken tofu, drained
• 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in warm water for at least 2 hours
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder

Directions:

1. Prepare the crust by pulsing pecans in a high speed blender or food processor until finely ground. Add soaked pitted dates and pulse until no large pieces remain. It may be helpful to use a spatula to scrape the sides of the blender/processor during this step.
2. Pat the crust into a parchment lined or lightly greased freezer-safe pie dish.
3. Prepare the filling by blending silken tofu, raw cashews and cocoa powder in a high speed blender until pureed.
4. Pour the chocolate filling into the pie crust and stick in the freezer overnight.
5. Take the pie out of the freezer at least 15 minutes prior to serving, more if you desire a pudding-like consistency for the filling.
6. Optional: I served mine with a dollop of cashew cream (1/4 cup raw soaked cashews blended with 1-2 tbsp agave or maple syrup until pureed) and cherries.
