my chocolate hankering is unquestionably back on track just in time for spring. i spent yesterday in the kitchen trying to perfect my idea of a chocolate pie and it did not disappoint. grain-free. dairy-free. sugar free. i may have slightly overdosed with those last 6 bites, which kept me up all night, but it did not stop me from doing it again today. it is rich…heed those words as you will.

raw chocolate pie

crust:

1 1/4 cup almond flour

1/2 cup raw cacao powder

4 tbs. raw coconut oil (liquid form)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 tsp. sea salt

filling:

1 cup raw cacao powder

1/2 cup raw coconut oil (liquid form)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1. place jar of coconut oil in a bowl of hot water until oil melts into a liquid.

2. for crust, combine almond flour, cacao powder, coconut oil, syrup and sea salt in a large bowl. mix until it forms a cookie dough-like texture.

3. place crust in a pie plate and place in freezer.

4. for filling, place cacao powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a large bowl. stir until it becomes a very smooth consistency.

5. pour filling into pie crust and set in freezer for one hour.

6. store in fridge for up to 1 week. it may last longer than that in your house, but that is impossible in mine.
