Chocolate Pie

This wonderfully delicious pie is raw, gluten-free, and rich in protein and natural sweetness from dates and maple syrup.

It's a great alternative to Halloween candy, too.

You can watch this video to learn how to make it with me.

CHOCOLATE PIE

For the crust:

  • 6 dates, pitted, soaked briefly in hot water, and drained

  • 1 cup almonds

  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

  • A pinch of salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Blend these all in the food processor.

Grease a pie dish with sunflower oil or coconut oil.

Flatten crust into the bottom and sides of the dish.

For the filling:

  • 1 cup cashews, blended in food processor

  • 1 cup cocoa powder

  • 1/4 cup boiling water

  • 1 spoonful coconut butter

  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds as a topping

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

Spread filling over crust and sprinkle chopped almonds over the top.

Chill for at least half an hour and enjoy!

If you prefer a hot pie, you can bake it at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
