Ingredients

For the Brownie Crust:
2 cups walnuts
1 cup dates
1/4 cup cacao powder
Pinch of sea salt
For the Cream Filling:
2 cups cashews; soaked
2 avocados
1 cup coconut milk*
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/2 cup coconut nectar
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 tsp sea salt

Preparation

Raw vegan pies are my favorite easy desserts to make for friends and family. Vegan or non vegan, they always come back begging for more, if they can fit it! That’s the beauty of raw food recipes, they are naturally dense because they are made from nuts, and so one little piece of pie can fill you up quickly.
