Chocolate Pie
This Chocolate Pie recipe features a whole wheat flour crust sweetened naturally with dates and a rich filling made from dark chocolate melted into full-fat coconut milk and flavored with vanilla extract. The crust is hand-kneaded and blind baked to set before adding the creamy chocolate filling. The mini pies offer a portion-controlled and satisfying dessert with a balance of earthy whole wheat and deep chocolate taste, enhanced by the creamy coconut base.

Ingredients
Pie Crust:
- 210 g whole wheat flour
- 60 g butter
- 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 egg
- 4 dates pitted
- 5 tablespoon water cold
Filling:
- 400 ml coconut milk (full fat, not light)
- 200 g chocolate dark
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Put 5 tablespoon Cold water and 4 Pitted dates into a food processor and blend.
- Put 210 g Whole wheat flour and 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt in a bowl. Cut 60 g Butter into cubes and add to the flour.
- Mix the flour and butter with your fingers until it becomes a breadcrumb consistency.
- Add 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt, 1 Egg and the date syrup to the flour and mix with a fork.
- Then mix with your hands until a dough is formed.
- Put the dough on a flour dusted surface and knead for a few minutes. If this is still fairly sticky, add some more flour. Roll to about 20inch/50cm diameter.
- Cut in to 4 circles of 4inch/10cm (this is the size of the mini pie dishes I used) and add to your greased pie dishes. See notes below for cutting the dough to size.
- Blind bake the pie crusts for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour 400 ml Coconut milk into a pan and add 200 g Chocolate and 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract.
- Heat on low until it melts, stirring constantly.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into your pie crust (there might be some left over that won't fit in, so pour this into little glasses and put in the fridge for a mini chocolate fix). Put into the oven for 30 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and allow to cool and then put in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Sprinkle some almonds or coconut on top before serving (optional).

Notes
- Adjust dough circle size to be 1-2 cm larger than the pie dish for better fit.
