Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, almond flour, melted butter, and maple syrup. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie dish using the back of a spoon. Note: Pressing hard prevents the crust from crumbling when you slice it.
- Beat the softened light cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Mix for 2-3 mins until velvety.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, then blend in the honey and vanilla extract until uniform in color. Note: Sifting ensures no lumps remain.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a rubber spatula with a slow, circular motion. Note: Folding preserves the air, keeping the pie light.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the surface. Ensure the edges are flush with the crust.
- Toast the shredded coconut and chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Sizzle for 3-5 mins until fragrant.
- Stir in melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and sea salt until glossy. Note: The salt balances the sweetness of the honey.
- Spread the coconut pecan mixture evenly over the chocolate filling.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set firmly. Do not skip this wait time.
