A healthy take on an American speciality, this cookie dough pie has a secret hidden healthy ingredient…chickpeas. Sounds wired but tastes delish!
This pie has a layer of chocolate that oozes out when you cut into it making it a perfect dessert for special occasions as well as a nice treat whenever you fancy.
I make my own chocolate spread and you can find the recipe here if you’d like to have a go otherwise just use a vegan chocolate spread form the supermarket - you will end up with a gooey middle using shop bought too, not as heathy but so tasty.
Ingredients
Part one
1 tin chickpeas (drained and rinsed at least twice to remove any salt)
1/2 cup oats (GF if required)
3 tbsp vegan yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 1/2 tbsp rapeseed or melted coconut oil
1/4 tsp baking powder
100g coconut sugar (caster sugar works well too)
Part two
60g vegan chocolate spread (approx, see method) ***If you can’t find this then use peanut butter instead.
Handful of vegan chocolate chips to top
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C and prepare 4 individual pie tins
Make sure you’ve given the chickpeas a really good rinse
Place all of part one ingredients into a high speed food processor and blend several times until you have a vert smooth consistency. You will need to keep scraping down the sides with a spatular and re blending over and over a few times.
Once you’re happy with the consistency divide the mixture in two halves
Place one half equally into the 4 individual tins and spread until you have a bottom layer
Part two
Place the chocolate spread or nut butter on top of the bottom layer
The cookie dough base with homemade chocolate spread middle
Top the chocolate spread with the remaining half of the cookie dough mixture
Add some chocolate chips to top
Place in the oven to cook for around 15 minutes or until crispy on top and gooey in the middle (this is totally safe to eat gooey as there are no eggs or flour in the recipe)
Serve straight away with some vegan ice-cream for utter indulgence.
If you do make this then I hope you love it
