Instructions
- 1
Pulse the almonds in a food processor until they resemble coarse crumbs, about 10 one-second pulses. Add the dates, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and salt, then process until the mixture clumps together when pressed between your fingers, about 30–45 seconds. If it seems dry, add water 1 tsp at a time and pulse again.

Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compact it. Freeze the crust for 15 minutes until firm.
