This cream pie is the smoothest, most VELVETY pie evvvveer. Rich mint chocolate made from fruits and plants? Yes, please! Mint Chocolate Cream Pie without the dairy!
You would never know this pie is made from AVOCADO. You can't taste it! But the texture....oh so creamy and smooth!
Even if you don't LIKE avocado, you will like THIS. (ps I can't believe I used to hate avocado! What was I thinking??! If you're still a hater, there's hope for you yet. promise)
And no dairy, gluten, eggs, grains or refined sugar. But lots of HEALTHY FATS! Yes, fat is good for you, in case you haven't heard. 🙂
Luxuriously creamy and bursting with flavor! And you can totally customize the flavor by using different extracts. I LOVE mint with chocolate, but you can use vanilla, almond, coconut, coffee or whatever you like!
Not only is it healthy, but it's super easy to whip up. All it takes is pressing the button on your food processor 😉 There's no baking, no cooking, just blend and chill. My favorite kind of recipe!

I'm printing the recipe to make it. It does looks easy enough to make and concidering I suck at baking I think I should be able to do it! (Ha!) Also, the crust looks good. What kind of crust did you use?
P.s. Love the avocados in it! And I'm sure I won't be able to tell that it's all avocado! 🙂

Haha it's so much easier than conventional baking! Just blend and chill. Pretty much foolproof.
The crust is nuts & dates. Different than traditional pie crust but So yummy!

Excited to make this! Does the filling call for 1 Tbsp or 1 tsp of vanilla? Both are listed. Thanks.
