Robust Raw Cacao Pie with Nut and Fruit Crust

Robust Raw Cacao Pie with Nut and Fruit Crust

Servings: approximately 16 slices
Preparation Time: approximately 15–25 minutes, plus chill time

Ingredients:

For the Raw Crust:

For the Raw Cacao Filling:

Source organic, pesticide free ingredients.

Directions:

Make the Raw Crust:

Process all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture sticks together, retaining some texture. Then press evenly into a 9-inch pie pan and allow to chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Make the Raw Filling:

Process raw cacao nibs in a food processor until they are crumbly. Next add raw honey and olive oil, process again until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the filling into the prepared raw crust and allow to set up in the refrigerator overnight. This pie is best served cold.

Note: Enjoy a slice plain (with a cup of coffee) or drizzled with honey or topped with your favorite fresh fruit. This rich pie has a very robust flavor because of the cold pressed olive oil. If you wish to make a milder tasting pie, Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil may be substituted for the olive oil.

Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Crust:

Lemon Ginger Chocolate Mousse:

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 3 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch Himalayan Pink Salt

Directions:

Combine all the crust ingredients in a large food processor. Process until mostly smooth, scraping down the sides when necessary.

Transfer the nut mix to a plastic-wrap lined baking sheet and smooth out into one large “crust” using the flat edge of a spatula.

Chill for 30–60 minutes until “set.”

Using a round cookie cutter or the top of a glass jar, cut out tartlet rounds. Transfer the rounds to a wax paper or parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze for 2–3 hours until hard.

For the mousse, melt the chocolate in a double boiler until silky smooth. Transfer to a high speed blender, along with the rest of the ingredients. Process until silky smooth.

Serve mousse over tarts.

Traditionally Produced Rolled Oats. Buy them here.

Our new rolled oats are grown on a small family farm in Wisconsin using sustainable methods without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. As an added assurance they are also tested for the presence of glyphosate and no trace was found. We have tested many batches of oats nationwide, including those certified organic, and it has been extremely difficult to find sources with no trace of the herbicide glyphosate present.

These oats are processed by a small family-run mill, also in Wisconsin, and are never subjected to any heat processing and are truly raw. This mill is dedicated to milling only grains grown on nearby farms that are free from pesticides and herbicides.

The oats are processed in small batches in order to keep them raw and as fresh as possible, making them an artisan, handcrafted product. As such you may find they contain more oat hulls in the package than you would normally find in oats that are processed by huge machines in factories.

A simple way to remove any remaining hulls is to soak the oats before consuming them. Soak your desired serving of oats in water and the hulls will begin to float to the top and can be skimmed off, then stir the oats and skim again, repeat this until no more hulls float.

Truly raw rolled oats

  • Grown sustainably on a small farm
  • Glyphosate-tested and no trace found
  • Processed in a family mill in small batches

Given that these are truly raw oats we recommend storing them in your freezer until ready to use for optimal results.
