Crust
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs 12 sheets of graham crackers - 180g
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 6 tablespoons pastured butter melted
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
- 2 ripe avocados (10-12 ounces avocado meat)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4-1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
- 1 ounce chocolate chopped (optional topping)
Crust
Place graham crackers in a food processor or blender and grind into fine crumbs.
Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a medium bowl, add in coconut sugar and toss until combined. Pour in melted butter and mix until you have a loose, course, wet-sand texture.
Transfer the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. Using your hands, gently pat the crumbs down into the bottom and up the sides to make a compact crust. Run a spoon around the bottom “corner” of the dish where the edge and bottom meet to help make a rounded crust, this helps prevent the crust from falling apart when you cut slices. Place crust in the fridge for chill for 30 minutes.
Pudding
Place avocado into a food processor and blend until the avocado breaks down a bit. Add cocoa powder, salt, maple syrup, and vanilla, and blend again until you have a nice smooth consistency. Add in 1/4 cup almond milk and blend until you have a creamy, pudding like consistency, If needed, add in extra milk to reach desired consistency.
Assemble
Spoon the chocolate avocado pudding into prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Next, spoon the whipped cream over the chocolate avocado pushing and smooth with a spatula.
Top with fresh chopped chocolate for garnish! Chill for a minimum of 3 hours before serving. Enjoy!
