Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almonds
• 1 cup Medjool dates
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1.5 cups Cashews (soaked for 4-6 hours, drained)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 0.5 cup Melted dark chocolate
• 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a food processor, blend the almonds until they form a coarse meal. Add the Medjool dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Process until the mixture sticks together when pressed between your fingers.

Step 2

Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or tart pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Prepare the filling: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, maple syrup, coconut cream, melted dark chocolate, and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 4

Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a polished finish.

Step 5

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 6

When ready to serve, remove the torte from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh berries if desired, slice, and serve. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
