Chocolate peanutbutter pie, of my own design, because I couldn't find any recipes that seemed quite what I wanted.
- I pulsed what nuts I had - a handful each of hazelnuts, cashews and almonds - in the food processor until they were meal. Then added flaxseed and a small handful of chopped dried dates that I soaked in hot water, and the water (they had turned into mush at that point).
- I pressed this into a tray to make the crust, smoothing it out by hand/spoon, and left it to set in the fridge.
- A little bit left over - added a squirt of agave and rolled it in coconut to make an energy ball.
- The filling was a cup of soy milk, warmed with about half a cup of crunchy peanutbutter (100% peanuts), half a cup of cocoa powder, two tablespoons of coconut oil, and squirts of agave syrup to taste. I added about a teaspoon of cornflour mixed with soy milk at the end, to make sure it would set, though the cocoa thickened it faster than I expected.
- Spooned this int the crust, sprinkled chopped pistachios and coconut on top, and left it to set.
- I had filling left over too - I rolled these in cocoa and coconut to make more energy balls.
It turned out of the tray easily, and held its shape perfectly! It's chocolatey, but still with a strong peanut taste, and good crunchy bits. Success!
