Ingredients:
CRUST:
1 cup packed pitted dates
1 1/2 cups raw walnuts
1/4 tsp sea salt
FILLING:
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (or sub another dairy-free milk, such as almond or rice)
1/4 tsp sea salt
3 Tbsp grape seed or olive oil (or use coconut, but it will impart more coconut flavor)
2 Tbsp lemon juice (1 small lemon yields ~2 Tbsp // plus more to taste)
TOPPINGS:
3/4 cup packed pitted dates (plus water to blend)
3/4 cup roasted salted peanuts (I like the roasted lightly salted peanuts from Trader Joe’s)
3/4 cup chopped vegan dark chocolate (I like the 72% dark chocolate from Trader Joe’s)
1 Tbsp coconut oil (optional)
