2 tablespoons
nut butter
-
1/2 cup
almonds

1/2 cup

8
Medjool dates, pitted and soaked for 1-2 hours
-

1/2 teaspoon

1/4 teaspoon

Directions
-
Begin making the crust by pulsing the almonds, pecans, and sea salt in a food processor. Drain the dates and add to the food processor with the nut/seed butter of choice and pulse until nuts and dates are finely chopped - you don't want any big chunks.
-
Press the crust into a pie pan, filling the area of bottom first and then lining the sides as much as possible in an even layer. Refrigerate.
-
Prepare the filling by draining the dates and cashews and tossing them into the food processor with the sweet potato and coconut milk. Pulse until smooth - now you really don't want any chunks. Add the vanilla and spices and pulse again to combine.
-
Pour the filling on top of the crust and use a spatula or knife to smooth. Sprinkle with sea salt and crushed pecan pieces.
-
Freeze for 6-8 hours before slicing. Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
-
Enjoy!
