America loves gossip.
Is anyone else a little scared that so many more people are interested in Lindsay Lohan’s drinking habits than, say, how to make Raw Snickerdoodle Cookies?
Yeah, me too. America’s obsession with useless gossip is utterly frightening. But here’s a piece of juicy gossip that isn’t useless:
If you add 4 tbsp cocoa powder to the Raw Coconut Cream Pie recipe, you get chocolate cream pie. You heard it here first. Now go spread it around town.
Raw Chocolate Cream Pie
- heaping 1/2 cup Thai coconut meat (about 110g)
- 1 1/2 cups raw zucchini (250g) (For a pie with a more traditional “coconut cream pie” taste, or if you don’t want the green color, omit the zucchini and add that much more coconut meat.)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
- stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste
- Optional 2 tbsp coconut oil, for a richer taste
- Optional for a mint chocolate chip pie, add a few drops pure peppermint extract
Add all the ingredients together and blend very well. If you’re using a Magic Bullet, you might want to blend the zucchini a little first so it doesn’t stay chunky. Transfer your mixture to a pie crust (or pie pan, for a crustless pie) and freeze. If you freeze it more than a few hours, thaw before eating.
Hi Katie!
I’m new to your blog and just wanted to pop in and say hello 🙂
I only recently discovered the whole idea of raw eating when I saw a couple of documentaries and became hooked. I’m going to be trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet and possibly go all raw as time goes on!
As far as gossip, I must say that I LOVE reality tv, hahha…I love watching the drama of it. I have to say that I don’t like drama in my own life…but I love to watch it on tv!
And I love chocolate as well so you can pretty much consider me a new regular reader 🙂
Lauren
Hi Lauren!! *Waves like crazy*
Thanks so much for the sweet comment. And I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who likes seeing others’ drama lol. I dunno, I guess it makes us feel better about the fact that ours are sane and calm, right? 😉
Hahahha, that’s right….it makes me feel so normal!
That pie looks amazing, and I love the suggestion of adding mint as well. Mint chocolate is a great combination! Hope you are having a great day Katie! 🙂
See, this is why I think I was born in the wrong generation. I don’t understand celeb gossip or reality tv!! I just don’t connect at alllll!! Much prefer chocolate-covered recipes.
Me too. Let’s go back to the 20s.
(As long as we can bring *some* technology, like modern medicine… and maybe some coconut butter too?)
I am going to be honest, I am a celebrity gossip blog reader. It is a habit I want to kick… really!
Besides, food blogs are better anyway 🙂
Hey, you’ll get no judgment from me. LOL as I said, I like those stupid tabloids, so who am I to talk? 😉
That many k visitors is huge! You go girl!
I love Bravo: The Real Housewives (OC is my fave, but love Bev hills, NYC, and ATL the most I think).
Also Millionaire Mathmaker
The Hills, Lauren’s other show that she went to NY and was in fashion, that one, I liked it
And E channel. Kendra, & Kardashians
That makes it sound like all i do is watch tv. And in reality, i watch like 1 hour per WEEK! I have it all on my DVR but rarely get to them…
I have a real life and no time! 🙂
hahaha i don’t really watch much reality tv but i will confess i am one of those perezhilton visitors 🙂
Crazy what our society is crazed and obsessed with these days– sheesh 🙂
Since I don’t have any access to coconut meat in Scotland, d’you think I could sub in some agar base and add a banana or two?
Hey, experiments are ALWAYS fun, because you get to eat your results :). Let me know how it works if you do try it!
I just made this recipe, but only had one coconut and needed to make more than the recipe created, so I added in 2 bananas and a bit more sweetener. It’s delicious!
I tryyy to steer clear of celebrity gossip but when I go back to my parents’ house and see all the Stars, Peoples, and US Weeklys, I can’t help myself!
I used to read Perez but then I pulled back because of all the negativity. There just isnt room in my life for it!
That looks delicious! I don’t follow celebrity gossip. It seems like a huge waist of time to me. Half the time, I don’t even know who the celebrities are even. People will mention them and I have no idea who they are – actress, singer? It doesn’t matter to me. 🙂
Hahaha I do that too. My sister thinks it’s hilarious. I didn’t even know who Justin Bieber was until like a month ago!
Food gossip’s way better than celeb gossip anyday. 😉
I cannot stand when people talk about celebrities! Who cares?! 😛
And I’m proud to say that I’ve never watched The Hills, Jeresy Shore, and whatever the other shows are called.
Whitney
Hahaha you and I talk about celebrity gossip 😉
I’m not really a celebrity gossip fan unless I’m using a magazine to entertain me at the gym! hehe.
That’s awesome! Can’t same I”m suprisied though 🙂
I would much rather hear from you than for Perez! I really don’t keep up with celebrity gossip, like at all. I’d much rather hear about regulur people….and chocolate cream pie!
