Instructions
Crust
- Add the pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse for about 4-5 seconds, repeat until they reach a sand-like consistency.
- Transfer the ground pistachios to a bowl. Place the coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 20 seconds. Add the melted coconut oil and sweetener to the pistachios and stir until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 6-inch or 7-inch springform pan, lined with plastic wrap.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Pistachio Filling
- Chill the coconut cream overnight. Then, the next day, open the can of coconut cream. Using a spoon, scoop out the solid part of the coconut cream and add it to a bowl.
- Then, whisk together the pistachio butter, sweetener, cardamom, and coconut oil until smooth and creamy. Spread the filling evenly over the top of the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Pistachio Kataifi Layer
- Add some vegan butter to a pan. Then, add the kataifi to it and toast over medium heat until golden brown. Let cool to room temperature.
- Then, add the toasted kataifi to a bowl along with the pistachio butter and sweetener, and stir together.
- Mix until well combined.
- Spread this layer evenly over the chilled pistachio filling.
- Return to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Chocolate Layer
- Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, take out of the oven and stir well; if not melted through, microwave again for 20 seconds and stir until smooth.
- Then mix in the coconut milk, using a spatula.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the pistachio kataifi layer.
- Spread evenly and refrigerate for at least 2 additional hours or overnight.
