Start your morning
off with a healthy dose of coffee, in pie form! Made with instant coffee,
vanilla protein powder, and other grain-free ingredients, this silky smooth pie
is gluten-free and sure to give you the extra boost you need to get your day
started, or to keep it going. You can make this treat vegan-friendly by simply
replacing the vanilla whey protein powder with a vegan-friendly protein powder,
or just omit the protein powder all together.
Ingredients
Piecrust
2 tablespoons coconut
oil, melted
¼ cup almond meal
flour
½ cup coconut flour
1/3 cup date sugar
¼ cup water
Pie Filling
1¼ cup cashews
(soaked in cold water at least 6 hours)
1 cup medjool dates,
pitted (soaked in warm water for 30 minutes)
¾ cup coconut cream (the
solid portion of canned coconut milk)
1 scoop ARO vanilla
whey protein powder
3 tablespoons instant
coffee
1 tablespoon
unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ Vitacost Dark
Chocolate Coffee Bean Bar
Method
1. Coat 4 mini pie pans (I used 5x5” pans) with non-stick
spray or coconut oil. Set aside.
2. Combine the first 4 piecrust ingredients in a mixing
bowl. Stir to combine, making sure flours and sugar are coated with coconut
oil, until mixture is crumbly.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to the piecrust,
stirring until mixture starts to come together and hold its shape.
4. Evenly spoon piecrust into each pie pan, pressing down
with your fingers until crust completely covers the bottom of the pan.
5. Drain the water from the cashews and dates.
6. To a food processor, add cashews, dates, coconut cream,
protein powder, instant coffee, and cocoa powder.
7. Turn on processor and mix until filling is smooth and
creamy (this will take some time). Stop to scrape the bowl a few times during
the mixing process.
8. Evenly spoon pie filling to each pie pan, smoothing down
with the back of a spoon.
9. Cut chocolate bar into very small pieces and sprinkle on
top of pies.
10. Place pies in the freezer for 2 hours.
11. Remove pies from the freezer and pans. Serve and Enjoy!
*Store pies in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer
for up to 2 months.
