- 100 g bar of quality vegan chocolate

Instructions
-
Firstly break up the chocolate and add to a large bowl.
-
Heat the coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla in a saucepan until just before boiling, stirring constantly.
-
Pour the mix over the chocolate and leave for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
-
Fold in the raw cacao and stir gently so that everything is combined. Pop in the fridge while you make the base.
-
To make the base, blitz the walnuts in a food processor until you get a crumb-like consistency. Add the dates, cacao, buckwheat and salt and blend again until everything combines. Add whichever flavour you fancy. The mix should stick together between your fingers.
-
Add the mixture to a 25cm (10in) pie tin and press down firmly with your hands, then up the sides.
-
Remove the ganache from the fridge and pour onto the base. Transfer back to the fridge and allow to set for at least 2-3 hours. Top with whichever toppings you fancy!
