Chocolate Pudding Pie (raw)

Chocolate Pudding Pie

Serves: 4
Equipment: Blender, Pie Pan

Ingredients:

Handful of Walnuts
Handful of Almonds
Few Tablespoons of ground Flaxseeds
5-6 Dates
2 Bananas
2 small Avocados or 1 large
2-3 tablespoons of Maple Syrup, Agave Nectar, or Raw Honey
2 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder OR Raw Cacao Powder OR Raw Carob Powder
pinch of sea or crystal salt
pinch of cinnamon (optional)

In a Blender or Food Processor, blend nuts and dates until you have crumbs that you can form into a dough. You can use more dates if you prefer it sweeter and stickier. Press dough into pie pan and chill for one to two hours, or stick in freezer for half an hour if you're in a hurry.

For the filling: place bananas, avocados, sweetener, cocoa powder, salt and cinnamon and blend until smooth. Taste as you go, adding more sweetener and more cocoa powder if you want it richer. When the pie crust is chilled, pour pudding over crust and chill for at least another hour. This pie is really good when it's a bit cold. Garnish with slices of bananas or shredded coconuts.
