No Bake Avocado Chocolate Pie
This is a creamy, delicious and rich no bake avocado chocolate pudding pie recipe courtesy of the Eden Health Retreat Destination Spa in Queensland, Australia. It’s easy as can be with ingredients made in your food processor, relies on dates and almonds for the crust, and avocados, coconut oil and cacao for the rich filling.
Ingredients
Pudding / Filling
- 3 avocados
- 3 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- ¾ cup dessicated coconut
Crust
- 6 pitted medjool dates (or use 8-10 Baari or blonde dates)
- ½ cup almonds
Instructions
- For the filling, add coconut, cacao, avocados, coconut oil and honey to a food processor and mix until all ingredients are well blended.
- Pour this mixture into dessert cups, or, if serving as a pie, into the base. In either case, refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
- For the crust, in a food processor add almonds and pitted dates and blend into a dough. Roll flat and place in a desert tray or suitable cake tin.

Not a repeat
We didn’t like this as much as we thought. We finished it, but likely won’t make it again. To be fair, we don’t like verymany no-bake pies. It’s a texture thing, like eating pudding in a crust.
We’ve tried this a few times, both as a guest being served and once making it. It’s neither terrible nor fantastic. Don’t think we’ll make it again because it doesn’t have the mouthfeel we like.
I’m not a fan of unbaked pies — they are just pudding in a crust to me — but my vegan daughter likes this a lot. Like the other commenters, I don’t like “wet nuts” as crust but she loves that too. This actually is good rolled up in a very thin crepe and then chilled, instead of crust. Chocolate Avocado Crepe Rolls!
What a great tip! Thank you Betty.
The pudding is fine — don’t bother with the crust. It’s just “wet nuts.” Spare yourself the effort.
