Maple Caramel Filled Chocolate Pie (Raw Vegan)

Raw Maple Caramel Filled Chocolate Pie

Want to blow your friends or family away at a special dinner? Here’s a raw, vegan, gluten, dairy, soy free recipe. Those with nut allergies could use seeds for the bottom crust, and omit the cashews in the chocolate filling though I can’t promise the same results.

Raw pies look more complicated than baked pies to most of us because they sound like a lot of work. Though after being on a raw pie making binge this weekend, I can say that making raw pies is way less time consuming. I whipped this one up in less than 1 hour because I wanted to get it all done before the sun went down and the lighting got bad. Here are the results…
