Ingredients:

Crust:
1 ½ cups raw almonds
1 ½ cups raw pecans
6 whole dates, pitted

Filling:
3 avocados
¾ cup maple syrup
½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. non-alcoholic vanilla extract
½ tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Sea salt
up to 1 cup of water to thin

 

Directions:

To make the crust:
Pulse almonds and pecans in food processor until you have created a fine powder. Add dates and continue to pulse until you mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers. Press mixture into a 9x9” pie plate and place in freezer while you make the filling.

To make the filling:
Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until very smooth. Add small amounts of water while processing until you have the consistency of slightly thin chocolate pudding.

Spread filling evenly into crust. Place in freezer for at least 2 hours before serving for a rich chocolate gelato pie, or serve without freezing for a chocolate pudding pie. Whatever you choose, the results are
delicious!
