Chocolate-Strawberry Truffle Pie

• CRUST:
• 1 c walnuts (120 grams)
• 1 and 1/3 cups date crumbles
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• optional: 1/8 plus 1/16 tsp salt (I always add this.)
• 3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder or cacao
• PIE:
• 2.5 cups strawberries, or other berries (250g) (I used frozen)
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or cacao
• 1.5 cups pre-soaked cashews (150g)
• 1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil
• 3 stevia packets (or 1/4 cup agave) (Plus extra as desired)
• 1/8 tsp salt

1. CRUST:
2. Blend all the ingredients in Vitamix. Press the dough down firmly into a pie pan.
3. PIE:
4. In a bowl, cover the cashews with water and let sit at least 4 hours. Then drain. Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix. If using stevia, add 4-5 tablespoons water. (Omit the water if using agave.) Blend until super-smooth. Taste and add more sweetener until desired taste is reached. (I added 2 tablespoons extra agave to half the pie and I kept the entire bitter side all to myself. Muahahaha!) Pour into prepared pie crust, and freeze.
