Servings: 10
Ingredients
For Pie Crust (see notes for a shortcut to make this without homemade graham crackers):
- 1 cup 98 grams almond flour
- 1/4 cup 30 grams ground flax meal
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut sugar divided
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
For Chocolate Filling:
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple sugar or coconut palm sugar
- 1 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 scoops collagen peptides optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-1/4 cup 6 oz dark chocolate chips
Topping:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows we like to buy good quality marshmallows without high-fructose corn syrup
Instructions
For Crust:
- Pre-heat oven to 300ºF and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Prepare graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl: combine almond flour, flax seed, 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, honey, cinnamon and egg.
- Place mixture on to prepared baking sheet and using a spatula spread it in an even, thin layer, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Place on a cooling rack and cool completely, at least 1 hour or longer.
- Once cool, break up pieces and place in a food processor and process until the crackers are fine. Add remaining 1/4 cup coconut sugar and melted butter and process until combined.
- Place graham cracker crumbs in a 9" pie plate and carefully press the crumbs up the sides and into the bottom of the plate in an even layer.
- Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.
- Place prepared crust on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Once done, if the sides of the crust have slipped down the plate at all, immediately press sides back up the plate and let cool.
For Filling:
- Heat together coconut milk, sugar, arrowroot and sea salt in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat while whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat and add chocolate, Vital Proteins collagen peptides, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the hot chocolate mixture into the prepared pie crust and gently shake to get a smooth top.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours.
For Assembly:
- Pre-heat broiler to 500ºF.
- Top the chilled pie with mini marshmallows in a circle design and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching constantly, until marshmallows are light and golden.
- Serve pie immediately, or keep in refrigerator until ready to serve. Will keep for 1-2 days.
Notes
- Want to take a short cut and use store bought gluten-free graham crackers? Use 7.5 ounces of graham crackers and pulse as directed beginning on step 6. in crust directions and proceed with the remaining of the instructions.
- For dairy-free, use ghee in place of butter in the crust.
