Instructions
CRUST:
  • Process the pecans and oats (if using) together until they form a meal.
  • Remove the meal and add in the dates.
  • Process the dates until they break down and form a large lump of paste.
  • Add back the pecan mix, along with the cocoa power, salt, mint, and coconut oil and process until well combined.
  • Drizzle in the water, starting with one teaspoon, adding just enough to bring everything together.
  • Press the mixture into a lightly oiled pie plate.
  • Place in the freezer while you make the mint cream.

MINT CREAM:
  • Process everything together until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour into the pie shell and place into the refrigerator or freezer until firm to the touch (obviously, the freezer will be faster).

  • Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
  • Cut carefully and enjoy!
