How to Prepare No-Bake Stracciatella Cream Pie [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Start with making the crust. Combine cashews and dates in a blender and process at full speed. It may take a little while until you have a sticky, but still rough, dough.
Prepare an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper (or grease with a tiny bit of oil) and press the dough onto the bottom.
Combine silken tofu, sweetener, and cashews in a blender. Blend until really smooth. Mix this in a bowl with vegan cream cheese and chocolate chunks with a beater and whisk until creamy and fluffy. Finally, put the filling on top of the crust. Garnish with chocolate and chill until serving.
