Chef's Notes

Make the Date Paste
A plant-based kitchen must-have, here’s the recipe for this oh so easy alternative to refined sweeteners.

Layer it up
Add raspberries or strawberries on top.

Sprinkle hemp seeds on top.

Halve some cherries and place them on top.

Mix blueberries into the chocolate cream for a blueberry chocolate cream.

Sprinkle with crushed peanuts, walnuts, or pistachios.

Substitutions
Allergic to soy? Try this Chocolate and Almond Butter Avocado Mousse for the pie filling instead of the Chocolate Cream recipe.

In place of date paste, try mango or other fruit paste for a different flavor.
