Instructions

For the Crust

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, but only to 275 degrees if using honey in the crust. Combine the seed or nut butter and fat in a saucepan over very low heat and melt. Remove from heat and add the egg, vanilla and sweetener. Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt and stevia to form a thick dough.
Moisten hands and press the dough into and up the sides of a prepared 9 inch pie plate, a springform pan. Alternatively, an 8 inch baking dish can be used as well. Bake for 15-20 minutes until slightly browned around the edges. Turn off oven and leave door closed.

The Filling

Heat 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, sweetener and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Combine remaining coconut milk and the 3 tablespoon cocoa powder, whisk, and add to the pan.
Pour 1/2 of the warm coconut milk mixture over the egg yolks (or substitute) and whisk (constantly if using real eggs).
Add the egg mixture to the warm coconut milk mixture in the saucepan, whisking constantly. Finally, add the remaining cocoa and whisk again.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, coconut oil and stevia. Whisk until smooth and the fat has melted.
Briefly puree the mixture in a blender or process in food processor for a more silky texture, if desired.
Spoon into pie shell. Cool uncovered in the refrigerator or freezer until the top is firm.
