Chocolate Espresso Pie

  

After making the Mayan Pie  I had to make another chocolate pie just a little different. I love coffee so I thought an espresso chocolate pie might be a delicious option! Here we go Again!

 

Ingredients:  

 

Crust:     
*1/4 c Almond Meal  
2 Dates (soaked in water over night) 
1/4 TSP Almond Extract 
1/4 TSP espresso 
Dash of Cinnamon 

Filling:

6 Dates (soaked in water over night)
2 TBSP of Water from Dates
1/2 c Avocado (about 3/4 of an avocado)
2 TBSP Coconut Oil
1/4 c Cocoa Powder
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Espresso
1/4 TSP Cinnamon

This fills one mini cheese cake pan PERFECTLY!

Times the recipe by 4 to fill a 9 in pie pan. 

1: Soak about 8 dates overnight or at least 8 hours
*if you don't have almond meal, soak 1/4 c whole almonds in water as well. 

2: Blend 2 dates, Almond meal, add extract and cinnamon. Don't blend too much, you don't want it to turn into butter. When combined press into your mini pan. 

3: Next blend 6 dates and 2 tbsp of dates soaking water until it forms a paste 

4: Add in the rest of the ingredients Avocado, Coconut Oil, Honey, Vanilla Extract, Espresso, Cinnamon. BLEND!


5: Add Cocoa Powder and BLEND again 

6: Pour over the crust and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
