Pastry

  • 1 1/4 cups oats
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, chilled in the fridge
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp chilled water

Filling

  • 1 400 ml can full fat coconut milk, chilled in the fridge overnight
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight and drained
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (heaped) cacao powder
  • Large pinch of sea salt

Decoration

  • Whipped coconut cream
  • Grated or chopped dark chocolate

Preparation

Pastry

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F/175°C and chill a large mixing bowl in the fridge

  2. Line the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish with parchment paper

  3. In a blender or food processor, blend the oats on high until they form a smooth flour, about 30 seconds, ensuring it is as fine as possible

  4. Add the oat flour, sea salt, and arrowroot to the chilled mixing bowl and mix with a metal spoon to combine

  5. Quickly rub the chilled coconut oil into the flour mixture using your hands until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, minimizing melting

  6. Add the maple syrup and water to the bowl and mix in with a metal spoon

  7. Shape the mixture into a ball of dough using your hands

  8. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface, put the dough on top, and cover with another sheet of parchment paper

  9. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is about an inch wider than the pie dish and roughly 6mm thick

  10. Remove the top parchment paper, place the pie dish upside down on the dough, and flip it over carefully to position the dough in the dish

  11. Remove the remaining parchment paper and gently press the pastry into the dish, fixing any cracks with excess dough from the edges

Filling and assembly

  1. Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and firm

  2. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, cashews, maple syrup, cacao powder, and salt, then blend until smooth

  3. Pour the filling into the cooled baked pastry crust

  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set

Decoration

  1. Top the chilled pie with whipped coconut cream

  2. Sprinkle with grated or chopped dark chocolate before serving
