Featuring California Almonds

Ingredients

	Crust:
150 g	oats
75 g	whole natural or roasted almonds
2 tbsp	honey
1 tbsp	coconut oil
	Filling:
240 ml	almond milk
240 ml	coconut milk
2 tbsp	almond butter
1 tsp	cinnamon
1 tsp	nutmeg
	pinch of salt
3	egg yolks
2 tbsp	honey
2 tbsp	coconut oil, melted
125 g	ricotta (optional)
	Topping:
60 g	dark chocolate (1/2 shaved, 1/2 melted in the microwave)

Step 1
For the crust, combine all ingredients into a blender and blitz until combined (I like it when it stays a little rough with some bigger pieces, it adds to the character).
Step 2
Press the crust into a pie shell and put it in the fridge to set for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Step 3
For the filling, bring together the coconut milk, almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small pot on low heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until creamy. Allow to cool.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together yolks, honey, and coconut oil before draining the almond milk mixture through a sieve into the mixing bowl to combine. Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and stir on low heat for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is thick. (Do not leave the stove top here -- your eggs can curdle).
Step 5
Allow mixture to cool. If you wish to add the ricotta, fold it in at this point. Be sure that the mixture is well cooled before doing so.
Step 6
Remove the crust from the fridge and pour the almond milk filling in. Apply plastic wrap to the surface, pressing down for even coverage (this prevents that weird skin from being created) and pop in the fridge to set for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Top with shaved chocolate and that amazing melted chocolate drizzle.
