- 1 ½ cups raw cashews
- 1 cup pecans
- ¼ cup raw cacao powder
- 1 cup dates (about 10)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ cup chocolate chips , melted
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 2 tbsps coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 2 - 3 tablespoons water as needed
- Additional pecans to garnish
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a bowl. Top with hot water so the cashews are covered by at least 1" of water and let soak for at least 60 minutes.
- While the cashews are soaking, make the crust. Add the pecans, cacao powder, dates and coconut oil into the food processor. Process on high until a thick dough comes together. Transfer the dough into a tart pan and press it into a crust.
- Drain and rinse the cashews then transfer them to a blender. Add the melted chocolate chips, cacao powder, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy (you want it to be thick, but still somewhat pourable (kind of like the consistency of a thick pancake batter). If it's too thick, add another tablespoon of water.
- Pour the filling into the crust and, if using, arrange extra pecans on the top. Freeze for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, allow the tart to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. The cut it into slices and enjoy!
