Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Chevre Pie

Chocolate Chip Chevre Cheesecake is all about the YUM! Here is the recipe!

Makes 1- 9 inch cheesecake/pie

Honey Almond Pie crust

Ingredients

1 cup organic almonds
2 tablespoons organic honey
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt

Grind the almonds into a meal in a food processor. Add and blend in the honey, vanilla extract and salt. Press the honey almond mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. (No need to go up the sides).

Cheesecake Filling

1 ½ cups plain chevre, tightly packed
1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
1/3 cup organic honey
1 Tablespoon organic vanilla extract
½ cup organic dark chocolate chips (70% is my favorite)

Puree the chevre, cocoa, honey, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Taste and adjust the flavor, if desired. Pour and spread the chocolate chevre filling on top of the honey almond pie crust. Decorate with chocolate chips. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
