Gluten Free Mocha Brownie Pie
by Moriah Sawtelle of @moriah.brooke
Ingredients
For crust:
1 cup cassava flour
2 tbsp tapioca starch
2 tbsp coconut flour
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 egg
1/4 cup water
For Brownie:
2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup almond flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 Tbsp Corsica espresso powder (finely ground)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup chocolate chips
For ganache
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2 tsp Corsica espresso powder (optional)
3 tbsp coconut cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a pie dish.
To make crust:
Whisk together the coconut oil and egg until smooth. Stir in the cassava flour, coconut flour, and arrowroot, until a thick crumbly dough forms.
Add in water, two Tbsp at a time, until the dough is sticky enough to handle but not too moist.
Lay down a sheet of parchment paper and dust with some cassava flour or tapioca starch. Place the dough on the parchment and then cover with a second sheet of parchment. Roll into a circle and then flip on to the greased pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired.
Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork and then bake for 8 minutes and set aside.
For brownies:
In a medium bowl, combine eggs, coconut oil, and coconut sugar. Stir in almond flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and baking soda. Stir until combined and then fold in chocolate chips.
Spread brownie layer over crust and then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
To make ganache:
Combine ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until chocolate chips melt into the coconut cream and are thoroughly combined, about 10 minutes.
Spread ganache over pie, serve, and enjoy!
