Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups raw pecans
- 8 medjool dates*

- 1 ½ cups nut milk
- 9 oz. dark chocolate approx 1 ½ cups chips, or 3 bars

- Prepare filling: if using chocolate bars, coarsely chop; make nut milk. In small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until just beginning to simmer. Remove from heat, add chocolate and salt and mix as chocolate melts and is thoroughly combined with milk. Let mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk eggs in medium sized bowl and gradually stir in chocolate mixture until well mixed.

- Bake on center rack fro 35 minutes. Pie should be set at edges.
- Cool for 2 hours and then refrigerate.

Notes
DATES: I prefer to buy them with the pits in and remove them myself because they are more moist and rarely need to be soaked first.
