Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 3/4 cup blanched almond flour I use Honeyville
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut toasted (I used sweetened, but unsweetened will work)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted over low heat
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

  • 28 ounces canned coconut milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder cornstarch would work as well
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  • For the crust: Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl combine the almond flour, salt, and coconut. Combine the coconut oil, agave and vanilla in another bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and combine thoroughly.
  • Press the dough into a 9 1/2 inch pie pan. Bake for 7-12 minutes until golden. Cool completely before filling.
  • For the filling: Reserve 1/4 cup of the coconut milk. In a medium saucepan, bring the remaining coconut milk and salt to a boil; whisk constantly for 1 minute, then decrease to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the arrowroot powder in the reserved coconut milk, stirring to make a paste. Raise the heat under the saucepan to high and add the arrowroot mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in the agave and vanilla.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the chocolate to the warm mixture and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
  • Pour the mixture into the crust. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set, then serve. Enjoy!
