Raw Chocolate Orange Pie

27/11/2011

 
Picture
An elegant, chocolatey treat that invokes childhood memories of candied orange peel and jaffa lollies! 

Makes 1 pie, serves 8-12 (or 6-8 eager chocolate pie beavers!)

The crust:

½ cup almonds
½ cup walnuts
½ cup cashews – you can use any kind of nuts to replace any of those here, such as pecans, macadamias, and brazil nuts
2 teaspoons powdered chai spices (mix of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom)
1 cup pitted dates, pre-soaked in warm water for 15 mins
A few tablespoons date-soak water

The filling:

2 large ripe avocados
3 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
30g raw cacao nibs or broken pieces of 70%+ dark chocolate – ay carumba!
2 heaped tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tsp finely zested organic orange peel
  1. Combine crust ingredients in a food processor and mix together thoroughly to form a dough. Add a little more water, if required, to form a damp mass.
  2. Press dough into a pie dish to form a base.
  3. Combine avocado flesh, cacao, dark chocolate nibs, cinnamon, orange zest and honey in a food processor and mix until a thick, smooth consistency is reached. Add more cacao powder if you have especially green avocados and the mixture still looks and tastes a bit “avocado-ey!”
  4. Place chocolate filling into pie crust evenly. Place pie aside in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  5. Slice pie into 8-12 pieces. Serve each piece decorated with thinly sliced orange or candied orange peel, and say hello to heaven!

Dear Casey,

This recipe is amazing! The flavours all complement each other so well - the sweetness and nuttiness of the base with the chocolate-orange filling.. and the avocado gives the filling the loveliest creamy texture. Cannot believe how great it tastes without any butter, cream or sugar - a real winner!

Thanks, Dani :-)
