The Way to Heaven

I cannot claim this recipe to be mine as I took it from a discussion board on the internet but it is AMAZING. Super easy to make and I have made it now at least half a dozen times and my friends with many different types of diet loved it. It’s called raw chocolate vegan bliss for a very good reason! Don’t be thrown off by the avocados. Nobody I made it for even knew avocados were in it.

Yield: 6-8 servings / Prep time: 10 minutes + 1 hour freezing time

Ingredients for crust

• • 1 cup walnuts

• • 1 cup dates (pitted) (The fresher the dates, the better the bottom turns out because the nuts and dates stick better to one another).
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder

Ingredients for Icing

• • 2 avocados
  • ½ cup maple syrup (grade B)
  • ¼ cup raw cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp unrefined coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of ground cinnamon

• • salt to taste

Procedure

1. 1. Food process the crust ingredients until blended and chunky and somewhat cohesive.
   2. Press firmly into the bottom of a glass pie dish, so that the crust is a firm and solid base.
   3. Put all icing ingredients into a food processor (or another strong blender) and blend on high till smooth.
   4. Spread icing over crust and place in the freezer to set for 1 hour.

1. Tips 

1. 1. Make sure your avocados are soft and it helps to mash them with a potato masher before putting them in the food processor.
   2.  When in season, top the chocolate bliss with strawberries once you are ready to serve, it gives a beautiful finish and adds a nice flavor.
