crust:
1 1/2 cups almonds
12 pitted medjool dates
1/2 cup cacao powder

we added 3 TBS cacao butter melted and process to incorporate
line a pie pan with parchment paper and press crust into pie pan

Almond Butter fillings:
1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup maple syrup (or use 8 dates soaked in 1/2 water)
3/4 cup water (use1/4 cup water plus the dates' soaking water)
1/2 cup cacao butter melted
1/4 tsp salt
mix the above ingredients until well blended, we used our high speed blender. Pour over the crust. Refrigerate or freeze until set.

Cacao ganache:

2 TBS cacao butter, melted

1/4 tsp vanilla
In a small bowl combine until well mixed. Drizzle over the set, cold pie.
