Place ingredients for crust in a food processor, adding coconut oil last to bind, process until the mixture sticks slightly to itself. Press firmly into a parchment lined 6” spring-form pan. Let crust set in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Mix filling, adding spices last, in Vitamix or other high speed blender until very smooth and slightly fluffy. Pour onto crust and smooth to an even surface. Freeze for 2-3 hours or until very firm before adding cacao drizzle on top!
Best if stored in the freezer, then remove for 10-15 minutes before serving. Slice thinly and enjoy!
