Ingredients

1 cup raw Hazelnuts
3 cup water
For the crust:
1.25 cup pitted dates
1 cup hazelnut flour (recipe below)
1 tsp Celtic sea salt
For the filling:
4 ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
1/4 cup psyllium husk
2 tbsp lemon juice
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Piece of vanilla bean
1/2 cup hazelnut milk (recipe below)
1 tbsp chia seeds (ground)
For the topping:
1 ripe mango, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tbsp dried shredded Coconut (optional)
Instructions
For the Hazelnut Milk:
Soak 1 cup of Hazelnuts 8-12 hours or overnight amd then drain the water.
Using a Blender:
Add soaked hazelnuts and water to the blender. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Strain through a nut milk bag or fine-mesh strainer. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Using a Juicer:
Feed soaked hazelnuts into the juicer. As you juice, gradually add the water through the juicer. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For the crust:
In a food processor, blend dates until they form a paste. Add hazelnut flour and salt, pulse until well combined and the mixture sticks together when pressed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
For the filling:
Grind the chia seeds in a coffee grinder or high-powered blender. Mix the ground seeds with the hazelnut milk. Let sit for 10 minutes to form a gel. In a high-speed blender, combine the flesh of 4 mangoes, psyllium husk, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and the chia seed gel. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
For the topping:
Once the filling has set, arrange the thinly sliced mango on top in a decorative pattern. Optional to add dried shredded coconut.
