Calories: 235kcal
- 1 small Haas avocado skin and seed removed
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 2 scoops vanilla grass fed casein protein
- 1/2 cup mint leaves packed
- 2 tbsp honey
Crust
- 1/3 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp dutch cocoa
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Coconut Milk Whip
- 6 tbsp chilled coconut milk solids only
- 1 tbsp honey
Using a NutriBullet or food processor, mill together the pecans, dutch cocoa, coconut flakes and salt until it becomes a fine flour that clumps easily when pinched between your fingers. Add to bottom of 6 serving glasses.
Blend avocado, coconut milk and mint until smooth. Add casein protein powder and again blend until smooth. Add honey last and adjust to taste. If desired, add a few drops of natural green food color and additional peppermint extract to taste. Layer on top of crust in the serving glasses.
Whisk coconut milk solids and honey until smooth. Spoon into a piping bag and pipe onto each pie before serving. Add additional mint leaves and chocolate shavings if desired.
- If you are unable to find grass fed vanilla casein, you can use plain casein and add extra honey OR use vanilla whey and use an extra 1/2 scoop to closer match the consistency shown here.
- If you want to skip the protein powder all together, use full fat coconut milk and an extra half of an avocado instead.
- Since the pie contains avocado, it's prettiest when served the day it's made but tastes just as delicious for 4-5 days after being made and stored in the refrigerator.
