Description

Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• 3 cups (~300g) Walnuts
• 1 cup Dates - tightly packed - roughly 12 large pitted dates (180g)
• ⅓ cup Cocoa Powder
• For the Mint Cream:
• 2 14oz (400ml) Cans Coconut Cream
• 1 cup (125g) Powdered (Confectioners) Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• ¼ tsp Mint Extract
• ¼ tsp Green Food Coloring*
• For the Topping:
• Grated Vegan Mint Chocolate**

Directions

• The night before - place the cans of coconut cream into the coldest part of your refrigerator.
• Place the walnuts, dates and cocoa powder into the food processor and process until it starts to clump together into a sticky dough. When you start processing it will initially process into fine crumbs but wont be sticky. The longer you process, the more the nuts will release their oils and then it will start to stick together in clumps.
• Press this mixture down into a pie dish and then place into the freezer to set.
• Remove the cans of coconut cream from the fridge, being careful not to shake them at all. When you open the can you will see that the cream part has risen to the top. Scoop out only this cream section into a mixing bowl - leaving the water behind. You can throw this out or use it in a smoothie. Repeat with the second can.
• Whip the cream with an electric mixer until it reaches whipped cream consistency. For a full step by step tutorial and video, click here: How To Make Vegan Whipped Cream
• When the cream is whipped, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, mint extract and green food coloring and whip again to mix it all in.
• Scoop this out on top of the brownie pie crust. Place this into the refrigerator (not freezer) to set.
• When youre ready to serve, top with grated vegan mint chocolate.
