Raspberry Chocolate Dream Pie

This amazing multi-layered pie was a big hit!
Crust:
2 cups walnuts soaked several hours and rinsed
1 ripe banana
1 cup raisin
1 Tbs. orange juice

Blend in the food processor until you get a sticky ball consistency. Press into your pie plate with wet fingers.

Candy layer:
2 Tbs. raw cacao powder
1 Tbs. coconut oil
1 Tbs. flax oil
1/2 tsp. agave syrup
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Mix well until smooth by hand and pour onto your pie crust. Place in the freezer while making the fillings.

Cashew layer:
2 cups cashews soaked 1 hour and rinsed.
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbs. coconut oil
1 Tbs. agave syrup
1/2 tsp. salt

Blend ingredients in your vitamix or blender only adding water if needed to blend smooth. You want this thick and creamy. Pour and spread over the candy layer.

Raspberry layer:
1 pint Mashed raspberries.

Spread over cashew layer.

Chocolate cream layer:
2 small avocadoes
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbs. raw cacao powder
2-3 Tbs. agave syrup
2 Tbs. coconut oil
Just enough nut milk to blend (use your favorite)

Blend in the vitamix until creamy and smooth. Spread chocolate cream over the raspberry layer and refrigerate the pie for several hours or until set up. You can also freeze it for 30 minutes for a quicker serve time. Do not totally freeze this pie because it will killl some of the enzymes.

Eating a dessert this rich may feel like a dietary sin, but it is ALL good! Eat, drink, and be truly merry!
