No-Bake Chocolate Mint Pie - A rich and creamy dessert that is made with real, whole food ingredients and doesn't require any bake time. Tastes like an Andes mint!

This delicious chocolate mint pie is an indulgent take on my Healthy Andes' Mints.

Back when I first started this blog, I would ask my husband to help me with recipe ideas. Basically, what recipe would you like me to make healthier for you?

He excitedly told me how much he'd like to have a healthier Andes' mint.

We both have an intense love of the chocolate mint combo, so I was on board immediately!

After the mint recipe, I went on to create this delicious pie, which is my husband's all-time FAVORITE treat on the blog!

Ingredients and substitutions

Here's what you'll need for the chocolate crust:

Almonds - If you're not a fan of almonds, I've also had success with pecans, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. You can even substitute 1/2 cup of the almonds with 1/2 cup oats, though you may need a little water if the mix is dry. If you only have almond flour/meal on hand, you can use 1 1/4 cups in place of the almonds.
Cocoa powder - To keep it raw, use cacao powder.
Sea salt
Dates - I've used raisins as an alternative, but I prefer dates.
Coconut oil - When cold, this helps hold the pie together and gives it structure.

For the mint layer:

Avocados
Coconut oil
Maple syrup - You can also use honey, though it does impart its particular flavor.
Sea salt
Peppermint extract - Be sure you get peppermint, not spearmint or any other mint!
Water

Finally, the soft chocolate topping:

Cocoa powder - Cacao will also work.
Maple syrup - Honey or agave can work, if you enjoy those flavors.
Coconut oil
Water
Sea salt

How to make chocolate mint pie

Begin by making the chocolate crust.

You'll want to process the almonds first to make your flour. Be careful not to go too long or you'll end up with almond butter!

Once you have your flour, add in the remaining ingredients and process until a dough forms.

Press your pie dough into a lightly oiled pie plate. Rinse your processor to prepare for the next layer.

Pour the mint atop the pie crust and set in the freezer to chill while you make the final layer.

For the chocolate topping, you can just whisk everything together in a small bowl, no need for the processor.

Set the pie into the fridge (or freezer, depending on how quickly you want to eat it), to set.

Who needs processed candies when you can make a rich and indulgent dessert like this in the privacy of your own home?

How to store

We store the pie in the pie plate with a plate on top.

I like to keep pie in the refrigerator, as it freezes solid when left in the freezer past a certain point.

Keep in mind that once you cut into the pie, the pretty green avocado layer will take on a darker, brownish green color as the avocado oxidizes.
