Chocolate Avocado Dream PieIngredients (use vegan versions): 2 large soft avocados
2 cups vegan chocolate chips
1/8 cup soy milk, possibly more needed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
liquid sweetener, add as much as you want depending on taste
pre-made vegan pie crust
raspberries
1 tablespoon orange juice
Directions:Ok, so I will be honest. I have never actually made this before. But I have had it, and it was awesome. Only problem was that they wouldn't give me the recipe, so here we are. I intend to make this soon, but as I am unsure what to do I thought I would post my ideas and let anyone post variations or comments, since it is a recipe in transition.
That said, this is how I think it should be made, based on the one I had before.
Take a pre made vegan crust and lay washe'd and dried raspberries along bottom of crust.
In a double broiler melt chocolate chips with soymilk and vanilla. Add sweetener to taste. Mix well, and take off from heat after fully melted so that it does not burn.
In a separate bowl mash up the avocado, or pulse in a food processor. Add in orange juice, Get all lumps out.
After chocolate cools a bit mix it in with mashed avocado. This mixture should be thick and creamy. Test the sweetness level.
Pour over raspberries and place in fridge to set.
Enjoy! Top with a vegan whipped cream topping.
Maybe some agar agar is needed if anyone wants to try that out.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 25-30 prep
It is seriously strange that two of us came up with this recipe at the same time! I submitted this a few months back but it is only now getting posted. Hope you enjoy mine or the other avocado chocolate pie!

This would also be good with a crust made of vegan chocolate cookies (something similar to oreos) and roughly chop them up and add a little earth balance or mild veg oil and then press into bottom of pie pan going up the sides a bit. Bake for a few minutes to harden and then fill with the avocado/chocolate mixture. If you did layers of a vegan whipped cream it could become a vegan oreo pie. Mmmmmmm....
