How to Whip Up a Decadent Vegan and Gluten-Free Date Caramel Pecan Pie

To Make the Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a pie dish with parchment paper or lightly grease its bottom for easy removal.
Combine the oats and pecans in a food processor until well mixed and finely chopped. Process about 30 seconds.
With a gentle whisk, combine one-quarter cup of rich coconut milk and a hint of sweet vanilla essence. Until the dough forms a cohesive mass that holds together when pressed gently with your fingers.
If the mixture appears excessively arid, consider augmenting it with an additional 1-2 tablespoons of coconut milk.
Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish.
Bake for 10 minutes.

To Make the Date Caramel

With the processor still running, slowly pour in the dates and coconut milk.
Process continuously until a smooth consistency is achieved, or for approximately 2-3 minutes.
Apply a consistent layer of caramel to the crust surface.
Allow the pie to chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours prior to serving to ensure it remains cohesive and maintains its structural integrity when sliced.
Serve with a generous dollop of rich coconut whipped cream, a scattering of toasted pecans, and a pinch of flaky sea salt, if you desire.
