Paleo (Or) Keto Raw Chocolate Avocado Tart

This is a rich and wonderful dessert.  It was taught to me by a dear friend who owned a lovely restaurant called the Green Spot Kitchen.  She was well ahead of her time serving grass fed bison burgers, deep fried artichoke hearts and more including this fabulous dessert.

Instructions

For the Paleo Crust

For the Keto Crust

1. Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend just enough to combine. Don’t over blend or you will have the texture of peanut butter. Taste crust batter to see if you need more salt or sweetness. Using your fingers spread and mold crust onto the bottom and sides of pie plate. Set aside.

For the Filling

1. NOTE* All ingredients need to be at room temperature To make the filling, clean out the food processor and add avocados, sweetener, coco powder and salt. Puree and while the machine is running pour in melted coconut oil. Pour mixture into crust, sprinkle with a little dried coconut, refrigerate for at least 3 hours to overnight. Slice and serve
