Ingredients
BASE
- 1 cup Brazil nuts
- 1 cup almonds
- 8 medjool dates
- ¼ cup water – only use enough to bind the ingredients
CHOCOLATE FILLING
- 2 large Avocado
- 1 cup chopped spinach (centre stem removed)
- ¾ cup raw cacao powder
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon tamari (salt reduced soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons lecithin
CRUMBLE TOPPING
- ½ cup Sunflower seeds
- ½ cup pepita seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
BASE:
- Place all ingredients except water into a food processor.
- Pulse on high a few times to break the nuts down and combine the dates.
- You may need to add a little water while the blender is running, so the mixture sticks together.
- Once mixture is well combined, place in a lined rectangle baking tin, or large round cake tin (I used a rectangle tin with internal area of 27cm x 18cm). Press the mixture down to make a base. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out. Place in freezer while making filling.
FILLING:
- Place avocados, spinach, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract and tamari in high speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Add lecithin and coconut oil and add blend on high until well combined and creamy.
- Take base out of freezer and pour filling onto base. Place back in freezer while preparing
TOPPING:
- Place all ingredients into food processor and pulse until needs are broken down to a crumble. Do not over process.
- Take pie out of freezer. Put a generous amount of the crumble on the top and press into the filling which will still be quite soft (this helps it stay in place). Place back in freezer until set.
- Take out when set and slice into bars. Keep in freezer until ready to eat. Take our 5 minutes prior to serving…Enjoy!
Notes
Depending on how big or small you want your slices...will depend on the quantity you end up with. We managed 30 slices of the below size...which were quite a good size for one serving.
