Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the crust. In a food processor, combine the raw almonds and medjool dates. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal and starts to stick together. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a few drops of water to help it bind.
- Once the crust mixture is ready, press it firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan or tart dish, ensuring an even layer across the bottom and up the sides. Use your fingers or the back of a measuring cup to smooth it out. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- In a clean food processor, add the raw cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut cream, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the chocolate filling and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup, depending on your preference.
- Once the filling is smooth, remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the chocolate mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Next, arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the chocolate filling. You can create a decorative pattern or simply scatter them evenly across the surface.
- Once assembled, place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before serving.
- After chilling, slice the pie into 8 equal servings. For added presentation, you can garnish with a few extra strawberry slices or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious Raw Chocolate Strawberry Silk Pie, perfect for a refreshing dessert!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic strawberries and premium raw cacao powder for the most intense flavor.
- Ensure your dates are soft and sticky: If they're too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before blending to create a perfect crust consistency.
- Chill your coconut cream overnight: This helps achieve a smoother, more luxurious filling texture.
- Use a springform pan for easy serving: This will help you remove the pie without damaging its delicate structure.
- Get creative with toppings: Consider adding raw cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra complexity.
- Make ahead and store: This pie can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
- For a nut-free version, experiment with alternative crust ingredients like rolled oats or sunflower seeds.
