Caramel Pear Ice Cream Pie (Raw Vegan Dessert)

Is it an ice cream cake? A cheesecake? A pie? 

I am not really sure what to call this little creation, but I can verify that it is delicious! I made it last night, and we loved it so much that we ate it for breakfast. It feels very indulgent, but it is made with 100% healthy ingredients and is actually good for you! 

Caramel Pear Ice Cream Pie 

Vegan, Raw

Crust: 

1/4 cup oats (I used rolled and steel-cut)

5 medjool dates, pitted

1 handful raw pecans

1 handful raw walnuts

1 handful raw almonds

Optional: cinnamon, sea salt

Filling: 

2 pears

1.5 cups raw cashews, soaked for at least an hour

10 dates

2-3 tbsp coconut oil

Optional: vanilla bean

Topping:

Cacao nibs

Chocolate drizzle (coconut oil + cacao powder) or (melted coconut oil + vegan chocolate chips)

Sliced or dried pear

In a food processor, combine the crust ingredients and process until it forms a sticky dough. If it is not sticky enough, add another date. Press the mixture into a cake pan or pie dish and place in the freezer.

Next, process the filling ingredients in the food processor until smooth and creamy. Pour into the crust and spread even.

Sprinkle cacao nibs and drizzle chocolate. Place back in freezer. 

I feel that it is best kept in the freezer but refrigerating it may work too. If it is frozen, let it soften for a few minutes before digging in. 

SO. GOOD.
