Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups raw pecans
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
- 1 ½ cups (packed) pitted dates (measured after pitting)
- 1 healthy pinch sea salt
- 1–2 Tbsp almond butter
- 12 ounces silken tofu (drained, patted dry)
- 1 ¾ cups dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 5-Ingredient Caramel Sauce
- Coconut Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Spread pecans on a bare baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Once pecans are cooled enough to handle, add them to a food processor with cocoa powder, dates, sea salt, and almond butter. Process until mixture forms a fine meal and sticks together when pinched.
- Optionally line a 9-inch pie pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Transfer crust mixture to the pie pan. Use hands to spread evenly and press firmly along sides and bottom. Smooth top edges with fingers.
- Place crust in freezer uncovered to set while preparing filling.
- Drain and lightly pat dry the silken tofu. Add tofu to a high-speed blender and set aside.
- Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Quickly add melted chocolate to the blender with tofu and blend until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate tofu filling over the frozen crust. Smooth the surface evenly with a spoon. Cover loosely with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Once set, store covered in refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw slightly before slicing.
- Serve chilled as is or topped with optional caramel sauce and coconut whipped cream.
Notes
- The first slice may be tricky to remove, but subsequent slices will come out easily.
