Pie Crust
- 1 prepared pie crust (graham cracker or pastry crust, 9-inch)
Chocolate Avocado Filling
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Prepare the Filling: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocados, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure an even texture.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the blended chocolate avocado filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
- Chill to Set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the filling to thicken to the perfect consistency.
Notes
- Choose ripe avocados for the smoothest, creamiest filling.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference; some sweeteners are sweeter than others.
- This pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- You can use a gluten-free crust if desired to make the pie gluten free.
- Optional toppings include fresh berries, whipped cream, or shaved chocolate.
