1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp sweetener (of choice)

Step 2: Make sure the avocado is ripe and properly mashed.
Step 3: Carefully melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 4: Add the mashed avocado, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, salt, sweetener, and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender or food processor.
Step 5: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Pour the chocolate avocado filling over your prepared crust or into ramekins.
Step 7: Refrigerate the pie until it is firm, about 2 to 4 hours.

Tips & Variations

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts on top before serving.
Use maple syrup, honey, or your favorite sugar substitute to adjust sweetness to your taste.
If you prefer a crustless option, serve the pie chilled in small ramekins or dessert bowls.

Storage

Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. To serve, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
