Description
This Chocolate Avocado Pie is a dessert that combines the creaminess of ripe avocados with rich chocolate flavor, creating a velvety, indulgent treat. The result is a surprisingly healthy yet indulgent pie that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the guilt.
Ingredients
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
1 pre-made or homemade graham cracker crust (or any preferred crust)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour the smooth mixture into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until it firms up and sets.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or shaved chocolate for an added touch of flavor.
Notes
For a nut-free version, opt for a gluten-free crust or one made with oats or graham crackers.
If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can increase the maple syrup or use agave nectar instead.
To make it even richer, you can add a tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter to the mix for extra creaminess and flavor.
For a dairy-free topping, coconut whipped cream works wonderfully as a garnish.
Feel free to experiment with different crusts—anything from a homemade chocolate cookie crust to a classic graham cracker crust will work perfectly!
