Ingredients:

Crust:

1.5 cups oats
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp maple syrup
4 Tbsp melted coconut oil

 

Filling:

1 package (16 oz) silken tofu
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup melted Classic Blackout approx. 1 1/2 bars
1/2 ripe avocado

 

Coconut whip:

1 can chilled coconut cream
1 5.3 oz cup vegan vanilla yogurt
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup

Instructions:

 

For the crust, preheat the oven to 350F. In a food processor, blend your oats into a flour. In a bowl, combine all of the remaining crust ingredients until a dough has formed - form the crust into your pie pan, and bake for about 20 minutes. While the crust is baking, in a blender combine your filling ingredients. Get rid of excess water with the silken tofu the best you can before placing into the blender. Make sure your crust has cooled before adding in the pudding filling. As for the coconut whipped cream, whip together your coconut cream, yogurt, and maple syrup until you get the desired consistency. Decorate the pie as you wish, and place into the fridge for at least two hours up to overnight.
