Death by Chocolate Pie with nut crust
I am alway craving dark yummy chocolate but am diabetic so I have to experiment… This one is wonderful!!! But use you own judgement on measurements… As we all have our preferences… I use only Yacon as it has a low glycemic index… The cinnamon stablizes blood sugar and doesn’t really add any flavor…I used the food processor instead of the blender for the crust and a mixing bowl for the filling… A photo later…
Nut Butters
I finally figured out the secret to making nut butters. You have to add a nut oil, which will make it like real nut butter. The problem with coconut oil is that it hardens too eaily, so if you blend coconut oil with it the coconut oil will harden, creating a crumbly nut “dough”. Not what you want.
Use the same nut oil as nuts you are using. For example, if you are making almond butter, you would use almond oil, and if you’re making Brazil nut butter, you would use Brazil nut oil, macadamia oil for mac butter, etc. Just be sure to use raw nut oil. If your grocery store doesn’t have the raw kind, you’ll probably have to order it.
