Almond or coconut flour seemed to be a solution, but they are difficult to obtain and can be expensive. That’s why I decided to try something more accessible: almond butter. I am happy to inform you that it put the dough well and added a nice nutty sensation to the final product. Yesterday, I prepared some recipes that I will soon develop, but shortly after the SF Mint Ice Cream yesterday, I start with the grasshopper pie. In fact, I made them like tiny tartlets in a mini muffin pan, but you can also make a big cake. Hope you will like it!
Ingredients
For the crust:
-
- 2 cups ground flax seeds (meal)
-
- 1/2 cup SF cocoa powder (I used Saco)
-
- 3 tsp stevia powder
-
- pinch of salt
-
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
-
- 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
-
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
-
- 2 eggs
-
- 2 Tbsp Torani SF Chocolate Syrup
Instructions
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter and coconut oil and whip until smooth. Add the eggs and chocolate flavored syrup and mix until fully combined.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It will be crumbly.
- Press into greased mini cupcake tins or into one large pie dish. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees (F). Turn off the oven but leave them inside for another 10 minutes or so until fully dried out and crunchy.
- Cool and then fill with SF Mint Ice Cream (store bought is fine.) Really you could add any SF ice cream flavor to these cups and it will be tasty. Peanut butter? Coconut? Sky’s the limit on delicious combo’s!
- Garnish with dark chocolate grated over the top or crumble any extra crust (baked) onto it. Store them in a sealed container so they don’t take on any unpleasant flavors from your freezer. Creamy, crunchy, minty, chocolatey deliciousness! Enjoy!
