Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Pie

Ever since I was little girl living Vienna, Austria, I have loved the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts. I remember the Milka bars and the first bite into milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts is a sensory experience I have not forgotten and tried to recreate with this pie.

Crust

1 cup Macadamia nuts

1 cup dried coconut (shredded)

6-8 dates, depending on the size

Filling

2 cups soaked cashews

3/4 cup hazelnut milk (put 1/2 cup hazelnuts in 1 & 1/2 cups water and blend till smooth in Vita-mix - strain through nut milk bag)

1 teaspoon vanilla powder

1/2 cup coconut palm sugar

1/2 softened coconut butter (or oil, but I prefer the butter in this one - I soften it by letting the jar sit in hot water in a bowl for 10 min)

Blend in Vita-mix and pour into crust - chill in freezer for an hour and then move to fridge or fridge for a few hours if you have time.
