Chocolate Avocado Pie

This is my favorite healthy dessert yet!  I was unsure about it when I saw avocado as the main ingredient in the filling- but add some natural cocoa powder and it becomes rich, chocolatey, and delicious!  The chocolate avocado pudding pie is a great healthy dessert to take to gatherings or just keep it all for yourself (like I did! ) ; )

The crust is grain-free and the whole recipe is perfect for those of you who are gluten-free too- no grains! You would never know.

This makes 12 servings.  Eat it one slice at a time and savor it.

CHOCOLATE AVOCADO PIE

CRUST INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups almonds
1/2 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cup dates pitted
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

FILLING INGREDIENTS

3 ripe avocados
1 cup raw unsweetened cocoa powder (100% cocoa)
3/4 cup raw honey
4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Crust

1. Put almonds, walnuts, and pure vanilla extract in a blender or food processor and blend until it’s crumbly.
2.  Add dates a few at a time and blend, until the crust sticks together slightly.  If the crust is still crumbly once all the dates are added, add a couple more.
3. Press crust into the pie pan and put in the fridge for later. 🙂

Filling

1.  Add avocados, salt, and pure vanilla extract and blend until it’s creamy
2. Add cocoa powder and blend until smooth.
3. Add in honey and blend. Then add in the coconut oil.  Blend until smooth.  It should be creamy and look like pudding- try not to eat it all now!
4. Fill the pie crust with the filling and smooth.  Place in the fridge for about 1 hour
5. Cut into 12 slices.  You may think the slices are small- but this is VERY filling!
