DIRECTIONS
For Crust:
In a food processor, pulse tigernut flour, almonds, coconut flakes, and remaining ingredients until a dough is formed and sticks together. Line a standard size pie pan with parchment paper and firmly press dough in to form a crust. Chill in freezer while you prepare the filling.
For Filling:
Blend cashew yogurt, lemon juice, BochaSweet, vanilla, coconut flour, coconut oil, and sea salt in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Next, divide the batter in half and pour into a separate bowl. In the half still in the blender, add the acai powder and blueberries. Blend until everything is well mixed together.
Pour the batter from the separate bowl onto the chilled crust and smooth out with a spatula. Allow to chill for 1-3 hours.
Once firm, add the blueberry layer and allow to harden for another 1-3 hours.
For Chocolate Ganache:
Melt down 1/2 cup of cacao butter using a double boiler along with the BochaSweet, stirring often until the sugar crystals dissolves into the cacao butter. Add in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and acai powder. Using a mesh strainer add in 1/2 cup of cacao powder. Whisk until all ingredients are smooth. Pour on top of the pie and let harden for 1-3 hours.
