Chocolate Avocado Pie!
By mitzzy
It's a sweet treat that's healthy too. Its creamy, its thick, its Chocolate Avocado Pie!
Now you might think, "What, avocados?... weird!" But once you make it, I bet you'll be a believer. You won't taste the avocado. But you'll get a dessert that's creamy and nutritious-- without having to use processed fats like Earth Balance, or worse, margarine.
This dessert can be made raw or almost raw. It takes as little as 5 minutes to prepare and could fool anyone into believing it's just a normal dessert!
Ingredients
- Ingredients for raw pie crust:
- (If you choose not to use a raw pie crust, a regular graham cracker crust will do just fine)
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 3/4 cup of dried apricots
- 2 -3 chopped dates
- 1/4 cup raw agave or honey
- Optional-ground chia /flax /almond meal
- Ingredients for filling
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup almond milk or other non-dairy milk
- 2 bananas
- 2 avocados
- 3 Tbsp raw cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp raw agave or honey (or any sweetener of your choice)
- 2 Tbsp raw nut butter of your choice (almond or macadamia nut are my favorites)
- 1 Tbsp raw coconut oil
- 1 tsp raw vanilla powder
- 4-5 dashes Himalayan sea salt
- Optional- some coconut flakes and chia seeds (for a topping... use as much as you desire. I usually use about 1-2 tsps of each)
Preparation
Step 1
Directions for Raw Pie Crust
Place the first 4 ingredients in a food processor until it becomes moist and mealy. While processor is on slowly add the agave or honey until the mixture forms a ball shape. Place the crust into a pie dish and form a pie crust. You can sprinkle it with some ground chia,
flax, or almond meal and press it into a pie crust shape with wax paper to make it a bit easier.
Directions for Chocolate Avocado Pie Filling
Mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor until it's a creamy smooth texture. Fill it into the raw pie crust or a graham cracker pie crust. (Optional-sprinkle it with a topping of chia seeds and coconut flakes.) Freeze for 20min before eating to help it keep its shape when you serve it. Enjoy!
