Crust:
2 c coconut flakes
1 c almonds
1/4 c coco powder
1/4 t salt
1 T vanilla extract
6 dates, diced
Almond Milk:
1/2 almonds, soaked for 8 hours and rinsed
1 1/2 c water
Almond Butter Filling:
1 1/4 c almond milk
1 1/4 c cashews, soaked for 8 hours and rinsed
5 T agave
2 T vanilla extract
1 T and 1 t lecithin
5 T coconut butter
1/2 c almond butter
Chocolate Filling:
1/4 c almond milk
2 T agave
2 T coco powder
1 T vanilla extract
pinch salt
1 t lecithin
2 T coconut butter
For the crust: In a food processor, process the coconut flakes, almonds, coco, salt and vanilla. Add the dates a few at a time as the dough is processing. Process until it sticks together. Using a little coconut butter, oil a pie pan. Press the dough into the pie pan, pushing it against the bottom and the sides very well.
For the almond milk: In a blender blend the almonds and water. Strain through a nut milk bag.
For the almond filling: In a blender blend the almond milk, cashews, agave, vanilla, lecithin, coconut butter and almond butter. Pour into a container and refrigerate.
For the chocolate filling: In a blender blend the almond milk, agave, coco, vanilla, salt, lecithin and coconut butter. Pour into a container and refrigerate.
To assemble: It is important to have both fillings be the same consistency otherwise they will not swirl well. When they are both the same thickness, and they must be the thickness of a batter, pour half the almond filling first, then the chocolate, then the almond and end with the chocolate. Using a knife or a chopstick, swirl the chocolate and almond fillings until you get a nice effect. Do not totally mix the two.
Put back in the fridge or in the freezer until it is set well, about 1 hour in the freezer. You may let it sit at room temp for 10 minutes to cut easily.
