There probably won’t be any regularly scheduled blogging
over here for a while, but I will be posting now and then when I find a very
delicious chocolate bar to share with you, or when I have a great recipe to show
off, or maybe even when I have news from a chocolate-related event to share.
This weekend, I was at such an event, a ladies’ potluck
dinner hosted by the lovely Gena, who makes truly delicious things with kale
and eggplant.
And how is that a chocolate related event? Because my
contribution was, of course, chocolate: Vegan, Gluten-Free Brownie Bottom
Peanut Butter Pie.
This is a very simple recipe that doesn’t require any
baking, which should make it a relatively appealing endeavor during the summer
months here.
Vegan, Gluten-Free Brownie Bottom Peanut Butter Pie
(makes one 9" pie)
Crust
18 ounces pitted dates
8 ounces peanuts
2/3 cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspons
vanilla
9” tart pan, lightly coated with vegetable or coconut oil
Filling (based on Gena’s Banana Soft Serve recipe)
4 bananas, sliced
1 cup peanut flour (available from Southern Grace Farms –
and no, they do not pay me, they just have the best stuff for the best price)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Freeze banana slices 1-2 hours, then run through a food
processor until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and process until combined.
Spread evenly into prepared crust, then freeze until set.
Remove from freezer 30-60 minutes before serving.
Be sure to serve in very thin slices, it is quite rich.
Peanut flour, interesting! I bet Hannah'll go crazy over this one:)
ReplyDeleteDelicious! Thrilled to have a recipe on my hands now :) Thanks again for coming!
ReplyDeleteSo ridiculously envious. And bahahaha, Emma! So true, so true. I desperately need this during this hell-work month of June, but I also need someone to make it for me. Dreams.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I always wondered if freezing the banana soft serve into a pie or something would work out well.
ReplyDeleteI saw the pie in Gena's post and thought "I waaaant that!!!" :) Looks delish!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff! Perfect workout fuel, i'd say. Somehow the insides remind me of a tofu pie.
