To prepare the crust, process pili nuts, cacao nibs and sea salt in a food processor until the nuts are fine crumbs, then add the dates, tahini, cacao powder and process until the mixture holds together. Firmly press crust into the bottom of the prepared pan, smooth the surface with rubber spatula. Put in the freezer.
To make the pistachio/lime filling, drain the cashews and combine them with avocados, pistachios, coconut, lime juice, lime zest, coconut water, sea salt in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. One ready pour the lime filling over the frozen crust and smooth the top. Put back in the freezer whilst making the next layer.
To make the dark chocolate layer. Pulse the pistachios, cacao powder and shredded coconut first. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Take the cake out of the freezer and pour the dark chocolate layer on top of the set pistachio/lime layer. Place the cheesecake in the freezer to firm up for about 3-4 hours. Once ready to serve, scatter pistachios and raw cacao powder around the edge on top of the cake, and place a few lime slices in the middle (stay creative).
