It was surprisingly easy to make - it took about 20 minutes. And it tasted good too! It requires no baking and the it makes use of the fact that coconut oil solidifies at temperatures below 25 degrees celsius.
I adapted the recipe from Life, Gluten free Chocolate Pie with Seed Crust
Easy Raw Chocolate-Avocado Pie Recipe
Crust:
1/2 cup of soaked sunflower seeds
1/2 cup of soaked pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw granola / raw chocolate granola (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons of Coconut oil
1 soaked & pitted date (or substitute it with any sweetener)
1 tablespoon of raw honey
Blend in food processor till fully blended.
Pour it into a pie dish and smooth it out to form the base and sides.
Chocolate filling:
2 avocados
1 tablespoon of Coconut Manna (optional)
1/2 cup of Coconut oil
1/4 cup of raw Cacao Powder
3 tablespoons of raw Honey / soaked dates
Blend above ingredients until smooth.
Pour into the pie dish over the crust and smooth out the top with a spoon.
Decorations:
Sprinkle raw hemp seeds / raw chocolate granola on top of the pie. (optional)
Freeze or refrigerate the pie for at least one hour before serving. The coconut oil will solidify and cause the pie to become firm too.
Remove the outer ring of the pie dish and serve. Enjoy!
(Don't leave the cake out for too long in hot weather or it might turn into mush!)
After several yummy but UGLY pie attempts using metal bowls, I finally bought myself a proper pie dish - with a tempered glass base and a removable silicone outer ring. Serving the cake was a breeze. I simply removed the outer ring to reveal a nicely-shaped cake and it looked pretty served on a round glass base.
