Yield
1 pie
Ingredients
CRUST:
1 cup nuts/seeds (I use almond/pumpkin seed; soaked and dried, if possible)
½ cup dates or raisins
1 cup coconut (shredded)
¼ cup raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons raw agave or honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cayenne (optional)
FILLING:
1 cup coconut oil (room temp)
1 avocado (large, soft, ripe)
½ cup raw cacao powder
¼ cup raw agave or honey
1½ tablespoons stevia powder or other powdered sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla
TOPPING & UNDER-CRUST
½ cup cacao nibs (roughly ground)
Recipe Directions
1. Blend the dates and nuts in the food processor until well-ground. Add the rest of the crust ingredients and process until it sticks together well. You may have to mix by hand.
2. Sprinkle some cacao nibs into the bottom of your pie pan and press crust into the pan.
3. Process the coconut oil until smooth (“whipped”).
4. Cut the avocado into small pieces (or mush up in the half-skin) and add to the mix. Process until very smooth.
5. Add the remaining ingredients all at once and then process until just smooth. The risk is that the avocado oil will start to separate if processed too long, which isn’t the end of the world, but gives a very different texture to the finished product.
6. Spoon mixture into crust and chill until firm.
Sunshinerose's Thoughts
By sunshineroseI’ve been too busy eating this pie to write down the recipe, but I figured it would just be too mean to withhold any longer.
I eat it for breakfast; oh my goodness! The nibs give the crust a really great texture.
Good with raspberries on top.
If you see white-ish oil start to separate out during the mixing process, stop and finish mixing by hand, unless you want to experiment with a different texture! If it happens and you didn’t mean for it to, add more coco powder and stevia, and then sprinkle coco powder on top of pie before chilling, to help soak up extra oil.
I’m salivating just writing this recipe—I think I need to go make it right now!

sunshinerose, I had that problem with my last post and had to resize my picture to a smaller resolution before it would take. You may give that a try. I'd love to see what it looks like, but I'm about to find out for myself! :D

I just made this recipe with a few alterations. I made a much simpler crust (just 2 cups almonds, 1 cup dates, splash of agave). Then I took the advice of putting in less coconut oil and used only 1 frozen banana. My kids are licking up the scraper right now. Even my husband who is suspicious of all things raw had to say that it was deelish! Thank you for posting this. And your picture is fantastic.

Triple Chocolate Mud Pie
I made this last year and served it to non-raw people. They loved it. So I'm making it for my birthday party this weekend. Thanks for the recipe.

Triple Chocolate Mud Pie
Just made this for Easter dessert for the RAW people in my family and we went absolutely NUTS!!! This is soooo good. Used more honey and less stevia (don't really like the aftertaste of stevia--reminds me of artificial sweeteners). We had it with strawberries that were not super sweet and they balanced out the richness of the pie. Definately not something to eat every day, but my son knows what he wants for his birthday "cake" (and he doesn't even like coconut).

I don't want to use so much coconut oil. I see someone else used bananas but I would imagine that would change the consistancy quite a bit. Any suggestions of what else I could use to make up for only half of the oil?

mmm I just made this, only I didn't want to use so much coconut oil (loads of fat with all the nuts and the avo already in the recipe). I used a couple tablespoons of the coconut oil and then added about 2-3 frozen bananas. I have my pie sitting in the freezer right now!! Triple chocolate ICE CREAM mud pie : )
thanks for your recipe sunshinerose! I'm enjoying licking the bowl already.

This is soooo good, just made it a few days ago. I decorated it with cashew whipped cream and some orange zest. I took a pic of it, not sure how to post it though.
