Mint Chocolate Fudge Pies

It’s that time of year! Christmas baking and treats galore. Last year I made several raw goodies to get through the season healthy and satisfied. Hopefully this year’s addition will encourage healthy eating on into next year. This pie is basically fudge in a crust. So good and ooey gooey!



Mint Chocolate Fudge Pies
Crust:
2 c oat groats
1/2 c coconut sugar
1/2 c water
2 t olive oil
1/2 t Celtic Sea salt

Filling:
1 c cashew butter
1 c honey
1/2 c cacao powder
2 t mint extract

Grind oat groats into flour. Process all crust ingredients and spread into pan (or pans). Dehydrate for a few hours or just until the crust is no longer sticky. For the filling, process all ingredients until oil just begins to separate (this is when it becomes fudge-like). Fill crusts and refrigerate. Enjoy!



Merry Christmas!

Brownie
2 c almonds (soaked and dehydrated)
3/4 c coconut nectar
1/2 c cacao powder
1/4 c coconut butter
1/2 t vanilla extract
1/2 t Celtic Sea salt

Icing
1/4 c coconut butter
1/4 c cacao powder
1/4 c Grade B maple syrup

In a food processor, process almonds into flour. Add cacao powder and salt, process, then add remaining ingredients. Roll about a half cup in a ball and press into a small bowl or other small dish. Refrigerate while you make the icing.

Most likely you will need to warm the coconut butter in the dehydrator until it liquifies. Then combine all ingredients in a food processor. Pour over brownie cups and refrigerate until icing hardens : ) Enjoy!
