jjaj2022 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 This is so good and very easy to make. I don't even want to know how many calories are in it! Ingredients Crust: 2 cups whole walnuts2 cups whole dates Pie Filling:2 avocados1 cup raw chocolate powder or carob powder ½ cup agave syrup (We added more than the original recipe calls for, probably about 1 ½ cups)½ teaspoon cinnamonpinch of sea salt To make the crust, grind up walnuts in the food processor. Then add the dates. (Don’t forget to take the seeds out) Pat the mixture into the pie pan. For the pie filling, blend all ingredients in the food processor. We started with the avocado first and then added each ingredient as we blended. (You can also use a blender. You may need to add a little water to get the blender going) Add the mixture into the crust and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. *We added about 5 spoonfuls of cocoa powder to ours because the raw chocolate was a little bitter. So, ours was probably 99% raw. I was skeptical at first about the avocado, but you cannot taste it at all. I fed it to my parents who are not vegan and they loved it. I didn't tell them the ingredients until after they ate it. The avocado just provides the "cream" consistency but does not add any flavor. Caffeine Warning: I think the caffeine in the chocolate really affected me. I was up until 3 am! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/RIPMacDre/Pie1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/RIPMacDre/Pie2.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/RIPMacDre/Pie3.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/RIPMacDre/Pie4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yum! I was thinking I've seen a chocolate pudding recipe using avocado, but I couldn't find it (admittedly, I didn't look that hard). I'm going to try this filling as a pudding. With a sprinkle of raw coconut flakes on top...yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compassionategirl Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 so far i cant find any raw chocolate. By the jjaj, it is really helpful to me when you post pics of all the ingredients and labels and stuff, as well as a few steps in the cooking process. That is what Tiff used to do and it is really helpful to the kitchen challenged like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyQ Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Great pics! Sounds interesting! What did your folks say when you told them the ingredients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 so far i cant find any raw chocolate. You can get it at www.rawfood.com , probably at www.eatraw.com (which has better shipping costs). You could also use raw carob powder (which is naturally sweeter than chocolate). When I whip up my batch, I think I'll mix some ground raw cocoa nibs with mostly carob powder...to the the sweetness of the carob, but the 'authentic chocolate' flavor of the cocoa.

Kathryn Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 A question on the recipe: did you soak the dates first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaj2022 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Great pics! Sounds interesting! What did your folks say when you told them the ingredients? They were shocked but they didn't care at all because the pie is so damn good! A question on the recipe: did you soak the dates first? Nope, just added them to the walnuts in the food processor as is, minus the pits of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Anything chocolate, I'm there!! Thx for this recipe. I absolutely LOVE recipes with photos. For one thing, I love visuals and secondly i get an idea of what the end result is supposed to look like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I would make one right now but it must cost millions...I'll slowly convince my roomate to make it so I can have half of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Half? I'm thinking you would eat more than that. My dad has always said to me that even if you are on a budget or low in funds, never chince (sp?) out on food ~ but then, if you are smooth enough to get your roomie to make it for you, all the better. Maybe I should get a roomie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Everyone should have a vegan roomate...non-vegans especially...as for the amount I'd eat I'd easily eat the whole thing...I'd just be worried she'd never make it again if I did so I can't eat all her food until my lease is about up so I won't have to worry about that anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 That looks awsome! Thanks for sharing that recipe and for the effort in putting on these pictures But after all I guess it has still too many calories for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Once I get off my 100% fat free raw diet(maybe two weeks) I'm gonna down one of these suckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljk11 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Dammit, I found this AFTER the pie contest I entered! however, the winning pie in that contest made yours look diet-friendly let me tell you. I "fitday"ed the recipe and it was like 7000 cals (5 whole coconuts for starters ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thats my kind of pie...Personally I wouldn't mind a crust made of peanut butter oatmeal then fill the whole pie with peanut butter...then top it with peanuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thats my kind of pie...Personally I wouldn't mind a crust made of peanut butter oatmeal then fill the whole pie with peanut butter...then top it with peanutsI thought you would be more of a vega bar crust with vega powder mixed thick for the filling.Topped with vega bar crumbles.

veganmadre Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Maybe I should get a roomie... Everyone should get a roomie like Jeremy's roomie. She's one cool cat. As for the pie - wow! I agree with compassionategirl, the pictures are great. Hmmmm. That makes me think back to one of your old posts about the chocolate chip cookies... Keep the raw with pictures recipes coming! That might motivate me to really "experiment" with healthier gourmet cooking - something I intend to start soon. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
