Paleo Grasshopper Pie in Chocolate Cookie Crust

March 17, 2014 by predominantlypaleo 6 Comments

 

Paleo Grasshopper Pie in Chocolate Cookie Crust

WOAH! when i first had the idea to give this a shot, it was sort of a pipe dream, really. i mean, there are lots of paleo-fied recipes that *work* but honestly there are just as many (or more) that really don’t. so when i get an idea, and i have LOTS of them, i don’t always count on things going my way.  anyway, i was dreaming of key words: green, st patty’s day, grasshopper pie, treats, and BAM, i knew i had to go for it.
i gotta say my friends, this is not half bad! in fact it was DELIGHTFUL! nothing artificial and only 1/2 cup of honey for the entire CRUST AND PIE combined!! i’d say that’s a double success.
without further ado, i give you paleo grasshopper pie!

Print Recipe
  • Author: Jennifer Robins

Ingredients

Scale

for crust:

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup pecan flour (i pulsed my nutribullet to create a course pecan meal)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon madagascar vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons organic cocoa powder
for filling:
  • 2 cups flax milk (or other nondairy option)
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  • 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup local raw honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons real peppermint extract
  • 2 tablespoons spinach juiced or two tablespoons pureed fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted

Instructions

  1. for crust, preheat oven to 350
  2. combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl
  3. lightly grease pie tin
  4. press mixture into a nice even layer in the base and up the sides of the pie tin
  5. to accommodate pie filling that does not need baking, bake crust for approximately 17-20 minutes  (watching to prevent burning)
  6. while pie crust is baking, mix tapioca starch, salt, and honey for pie filling over low/medium heat in a saucepan
  7. once combined, slowly whisk in 1/4 of the flax milk
  8. now whisk in egg yolks and the rest of the flax milk
  9. when it starts to bubble reduce heat and use rubber spatula to pull pudding away from sides
  10. continue to stir constantly and scrape sides for about 5 more minutes
  11. once mixture has thickened, remove from heat and add in melted coconut oil, peppermint extract, and spinach juice
  12. pour green filling into chocolate pie shell and place in freezer for 30-45 minutes, checking on it periodically
  13. you will want it to be almost frozen without being rock hard solid, the refrigerator doesn’t quite get the desired consistency

    I’ve been eating mostly paleo for the last 3 weeks while going through infertility treatments. This looks DELICIOUS!!!! Now if I can only convince my husband to make it for me (he’s the cook in the house!). Stopping by from SITS…

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
