Secret Chocolate Silk Pie {Paleo, Vegan}
You won’t believe this Chocolate Silk pie is made with healthy ingredients. Tastes JUST like a conventional pie made with flour, sugar, butter and eggs, but has NONE of those ingredients! Vegan & paleo approved!
You’re gonna need to trust me, ok? I know it’s going to sound WEIRD, and maybe like “WHAT? No WAY”, but I PROMISE it’s GOOD. 
But first, THE CRUST. I seriously can’t believe how much it tastes like a “REAL” pie crust. Crisp and buttery, but there’s no butter! It’s made with healthy, whole foods like almonds and flax! Completely gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergy-friendly. Yay!
Now here’s the SECRET: It’s made with AVOCADO and ZUCCHINI. Haha! Yes!!! And it’s SO good. You would NEVER KNOW by tasting it that it’s filled with vegetables.
One of my favorite parts about serving healthy desserts is the shock factor: being able to say “You won’t believe what it’s made of!! … Zucchini! Haha!” And my kids reply with, “What!? Oh my gosh!” Haha. Not only that, but I don’t feel guilty about feeding these desserts to my kids, or eating them myself. And who doesn’t need an extra serving of veggies 😉
Don’t be afraid! The avocado and zucchini make it incredibly silky smooth! It’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup and gets its rich chocolatey flavor from raw cacao, which is full of health benefits!! Did you know cacao has 40x more antioxidants than blueberries, lots of iron, magnesium and MORE calcium than MILK? It’s true!
A pie full of green VEGGIES, antioxidants, vitamins, protein and fiber that tastes like pure chocolate bliss?! Dessert with health benefits?! Yes, it’s TRUE!
If you have never tried a dessert made with avocado or zucchini, DO IT. Like, today. I promise it will change your life 😉

Hi Emily, I think this pie sounds delish!! I was wondering what is a good substitute for the coconut oil please? I am allergic 🙁 I know, it sucks as it is so tasty and healthy but sadly I am unable to have it. Would butter be better or another oil? Thank you in advance
Emily
Meg, so sorry you’re allergic! Bummer. You could leave it out, but it will be more of a pudding pie since the coconut oil is what holds it in shape. Or make without coconut & store it in the freezer for a chocolate icebox pie 🙂

Please clarify this – 1 tsp Tbs + 1maple syrup
Emily
Sorry it should say 1 Tbs + 1 tsp maple syrup.

Omega-3 from flax seed is rapidly oxidized by exposure to sunlight or high temperatures and turns into a health hazard carcinogen. I would remove flax seed from this recipe.

Looking forward to making this!!! As for the crust, what specific brand of oil are you recommending? Any other suggestions besides almond oil? Thanks in advance! 🙂
Emily
Almond oil has a very neutral flavor so it works well. The one I used was La Tourangelle brand. Found it on Amazon.
I have made it with coconut oil, too, and I loved it. But it does add a slight coconut taste. You can use any type of oil you like, but a light tasting / neutral oil is recommended (so I would avoid olive oil)
Hope you enjoy your pie! 🙂

My husband is allerfix to all nuts, I see that I could use coconut oil, do you have a flour suggestion for but allergy people?
Emily
You could try GF all purpose flour, but I have not tried that myself. Or cassava flour might work.
You could use a coconut flour crust from my nut-free section, but you would probably need to double it for this recipe. prettypies.com/tag/nut-free
ps. a new nut-free crust is on my list of recipes to work on 🙂

Can this pie be frozen until ready to serve? I made it once and was delicious but would like to keep one in freezer for company. Thanks
Emily
Yes you can freeze it. I’m not 100% certain how long you’d need to set it out to soften. I like to transfer mine from the freezer to the fridge to thaw at least a few hours before serving. Hope that helps 🙂
