Raw salted pecan pie

This pie was such a hit. We ate it until the last crumb. And after that I basically licked the plate. And it was so easy to make as well!

The base:
1 cup dates
1/2 cup pecan nuts
1/2 cup almonds

The caramel:
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp raw nut butter (I used un-raw peanut butter)
2 tbsp lucuma powder
2 tbsp agave syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt

On top:
1/4 cup pecan nuts (chopped)
sprinkle sea salt

For the crust, mix the almonds and pecans in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the dates and process until done. Press the mixture on a serving plate or a cake tin lined with baking paper / cling film. Put into the freezer to cool and wait.

Make the caramel by melting the coconut oil in water bath and add other ingredients. Let it firm a bit before applying on top of the cake. Add the pecan bits and some sea salt.

Chocolate salad for breakfast

What?
Did you say salad for breakfast? No, wait.. did you say "chocolate salad"?

Yes. I couldn't resist on trying this super strange and funny looking salad for a breakie today. I think that in the future I'll have my choco mousse as a choco mousse and salad as a salad, but in all it's oddness this was well worth trying out. The recipe is from Choosing Raw -blog. I realized (too late) that all the sauce was probably not meant for a single portion, hehe. So I got more than enough of a chocolate kick :)
