Directions: Before starting the mixture, coat the baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil. Also, please note that in a standard 11-cup food processor, you will have to split this recipe in half and do (2) separate half-batches to complete the full recipe amount listed above! In a food processor, pulse the pecans into medium-size crumbs, until mealy. Be sure not to over process, as the pecans can break down easily and become pecan butter. Add the dates slowly into the mixture and process until very well combined. The mixture should be somewhat cakey a slightly moist batter with a little texture. Add the raw cacao powder, Vitamineral Green, maca, sea salt and shilajit powder and process. Once ready, the mixture should begin to ball up in the food processor as the raw cacao powder becomes well incorporated. Take the brownie mix out of the processor bowl and add to the baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish and fold in the reserved pecans and dried cherries. Mix with your hands. Press with even, medium pressure to make a flat, even distribution of the batter. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving. For the fudge sauce, add the agave nectar and coconut oil to a high-speed blender and blend until very smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the cacao butter, and blend again. Once an ultra-smooth consistency is attained, add the cacao butter (either solid of liquefied) and blend again. Place in the dehydrator at 105 degrees for 10 minutes before serving with the Superfood Brownies. Recipe Variations: Instead of dried black cherries, try goji berries or Incan berries for an extra superfood nutrient kick OR substitute dried organic pineapple or mango for tropical tango brownies. Experiment and play!

Directions: Add the almonds, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, and cacao powder to a food processor and pulse until the almonds are well broken down into small pieces. Add the salt, vanilla, and date paste and process again until well incorporated. Place the crust mixture into a 10-inch springform pan that has been greased with coconut oil and press firmly until the crust is spread evenly and uniformly on the bottom of the pan. Place the fresh blueberries on top of the crust and set aside. White Chocolate Probiotic Filling: 3 cups raw cashews, soaked at least 2 hours 2 cups fresh hemp milk cup agave nectar 2 tablespoons lemon juice cup liquid vanilla teaspoon sea salt 3 tablespoons lecithin 2/3 cup cacao butter 2 capsules or 1/2 teaspoon vegan probiotics 1 pack fresh blueberries 2 tablespoons lemon juice, reserved
Directions: Place all ingredients, except the cacao butter, blueberries and reserved lemon juice, in a high speed blender and blend until very smooth. Add the cacao butter and blend again until smooth and very creamy. Add the probiotic powder to the mixture and briefly blend again. Pour the mixture on top of the blueberries and pie crust, leaving 1 cups reserved in the blender. Place the fresh blueberries and reserved lemon juice in the blender and blend again until a smooth, creamy, light blue filling is created. With gusto and some force, pour the blueberry filling into the white chocolate filling in the pan, as you want the blueberry filling to penetrate to the bottom of the pan. Pour several pockets of blueberry filling into the chocolate filling and then lightly ribbon the rest on top. Take a single chopstick and then lightly swirl the two fillings together, creating a beautiful two-color mixture. Do not over swirl, as the point is having the contrasting colors come together. Place in the freezer for 1 hour to set the cheesecake. Before serving, let thaw for at least 30 minutes.
