Double Chocolate Pie






















Today I really needed chocolate! It was just one of those days! Thankfully I can whip up this healthy option and am not tempted by junk food! I love healthy desserts!


I am quite excited about my upcoming weekend. On Saturday morning I am going blueberry picking. I love blueberries and have gone blueberry picking every summer since I was a little girl. On Saturday night I am having a dinner party and am making black bean burgers (vegan but not raw), home made french fries with organic ketchup and blueberry pie! I tried out this black bean burger last weekend and it turned out great. I used lettuce as my bun. I will try and snap some picture of the eats for this weekend. What are you doing this weekend?


Double Chocolate Pie:

Crust ingredients: 2 cups of dried coconut, 1 cup of almonds, 1 cup of dates, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of chocolate powder, sea salt to taste.


Crust directions: Grind up the almonds in a food processor until they become a flour like consistency. In a vitamixer mix the dates and water until smooth. Mix the dates, coconut and almonds flour together in a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate and sea salt and mix well. Press the mixture into a pie pan.


Chocolate filling: 3 avocados, 1 banana, 1 cup of chocolate powder, 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of water. Blend all of the ingredients in the vitamixer until creamy. Pour the filling into the pie pan and let it set in the fridge for a few hours.
