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.
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!
I have to say, I am quite partial to my reality tv-americas next top model, the hills, the city-yea, i love em! but im also loving the look of that cream pie! defintiely gossip worth spreading! (ha, i just wrote gooseip by mistake lol) xxx
Once again Katie, the pie looks great! Shall make it on the weekend for some friends who’re coming over. I’ve never really got into reality tv, there’s always to many more fun outdoor things to be doing rather than sitting watching someone else’s life. That said, there’s nothing like reading gossip magazines whilst in the hairdresser, for some reason their lives seem so much more interesting when someone’s snipping away at your split ends 😛
I am guilty of checking TMZ a few times a week. I hate to admit it, but I love celebrity gossip!
I *may* have been *slightly* addicted to The Hills (until it ended… NOOOOOO!!!) but I’m not a fan of every reality show… Really, I’m not…
would it be possible to make a raw Red Velvet cupcake? Or regular Red Velvet cupcake for 1 ? I could not imagine adding red food coloring to anything. I’ve seen recipes using beets.
Oh I will have to try!! 🙂
I’m a meat-eater, but your recipes always look so delicious and healthy that it makes me want to go Vegan!
Aww 🙂
This looks sooooo good…and so unbelievably healthy! I can’t wait to try it, and thank you soo soo soo much Katie cakes!!! 🙂 PS (got any tips on how to open and get the meat out of a coconut)!? I’m terrible at it and always end up slicing my fingers!
LOL I have a technique… but it’s not pretty. I have an old knife that I put into the coconut by banging on it with another knife, to slice the top off. Very, very bad (especially for the knife, but it already has a dent in it lol). But it works!
So in place of zucchini, I can replace it with 1 1/2 cups coconut meat? Thanks.
Yup! If you try the pie, I’d love to know your thoughts!
