Instructions
For the Crust:
- Prepare an 8″ round pie pan with parchment paper.
- Add all CRUST ingredients to a food processor and process until mixture is smooth and able to be stuck together. Then, press the crumble into a parchment-lined pie pan. Place in the freezer to set.
For the Caramel Layer:
- Without wiping out the food processor, add all the CARAMEL ingredients to the food processor and process until very smooth.
- Spread an even layer atop pie crust and return to freezer.
For the Peanut Butter Mousse:
- Open the coconut milk cans and scoop out solid white coconut cream. Add to food processor with remaining MOUSSE ingredients, and process until smooth. Spread evenly atop of caramel layer, then return to freezer.
- If you’re garnishing with melted chocolate, melt your chocolate in a double-boiler or the microwave. Then drizzle the pie with the dark chocolate.
- Freeze the garnished pie overnight. Store it in the freezer, and when you’re ready for a slice, let it de-thaw on the counter for 10 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
