Press two thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix tahini and coconut milk until smooth. Spread over the cooled crust.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly over the tahini layer.
Crumble the remaining dough into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the walnuts to create a crumbly texture.
Bake for an additional 20 25 minutes, or until the top layer is golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Release the torte from the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate. Slice into 8 pieces for a keto friendly dessert that will impress your guests.
