Directions

2. Place the almonds, hemp seeds, pitted dates, sea salt and cocoa into the bowl of a food processor. Process the mixture until it forms a thick paste like consistency (about 1-2 minutes). If it is too wet, add more dates or almonds. If it is too dry add a tsp of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
3. Using a 9 inch pie pan, press the almond-date mixture into the pan. Use the bottom of a cup to press it well, against the sides of the pan. Set the pressed crust into the freezer to chill and solidify.
4. *To prepare the Chocolate Avocado Filling
5. In the food processor, add in avocado flesh, maple syrup, cocoa powder, melt chocolate chips and sea salt. Process until smooth, scrape the sides down if necessary.
6. Pour the chocolate filling into the pie crust, using a spatula and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
