Ingredients

Crust:

  • ½ cup blanched almond flour
  • ¼ cup raw pecans
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder

Filling:

  • 1 can (400ml) full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup semisweet mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Crust:

  • Grind the pecans with a food processor until fine meal.
  • Mix the pecan meal with the almond flour, vanilla extract, coconut oil and cacao powder.
  • Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and evenly distribute the mixture in the pan.
  • Bake the crust at 350°F for 5 minutes and let it cool on a wire rack.

Filling:

  • To make a dairy free version of condensed milk, place a can of full fat coconut milk in a sauce pan and mix in the raw honey.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
  • Simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally or until mixture is reduced to half, has a darker color and is thicker. If you have a pressure cooker, you can do this in just 10 minutes, a real time saver!
  • Pour coconut condensed milk over the crust.
  • Sprinkle with chopped pecans, shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F. Let it cool completely on a wire rack and refrigerate.
