America loves gossip.
Is anyone else a little scared that so many more people are interested in Lindsay Lohan’s drinking habits than, say, how to make Raw Snickerdoodle Cookies?
Yeah, me too. America’s obsession with useless gossip is utterly frightening. But here’s a piece of juicy gossip that isn’t useless:
If you add 4 tbsp cocoa powder to the Raw Coconut Cream Pie recipe, you get chocolate cream pie. You heard it here first. Now go spread it around town.
Raw Chocolate Cream Pie
- heaping 1/2 cup Thai coconut meat (about 110g)
- 1 1/2 cups raw zucchini (250g) (For a pie with a more traditional “coconut cream pie” taste, or if you don’t want the green color, omit the zucchini and add that much more coconut meat.)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
- stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste
- Optional 2 tbsp coconut oil, for a richer taste
- Optional for a mint chocolate chip pie, add a few drops pure peppermint extract
Add all the ingredients together and blend very well. If you’re using a Magic Bullet, you might want to blend the zucchini a little first so it doesn’t stay chunky. Transfer your mixture to a pie crust (or pie pan, for a crustless pie) and freeze. If you freeze it more than a few hours, thaw before eating.

I’m not really a celebrity gossip fan unless I’m using a magazine to entertain me at the gym! hehe.
Ann Claire says
That’s awesome! Can’t same I”m suprisied though 🙂
I would much rather hear from you than for Perez! I really don’t keep up with celebrity gossip, like at all. I’d much rather hear about regulur people….and chocolate cream pie!
Fi says
I have to say, I am quite partial to my reality tv-americas next top model, the hills, the city-yea, i love em! but im also loving the look of that cream pie! defintiely gossip worth spreading! (ha, i just wrote gooseip by mistake lol) xxx
Claire says
Once again Katie, the pie looks great! Shall make it on the weekend for some friends who’re coming over. I’ve never really got into reality tv, there’s always to many more fun outdoor things to be doing rather than sitting watching someone else’s life. That said, there’s nothing like reading gossip magazines whilst in the hairdresser, for some reason their lives seem so much more interesting when someone’s snipping away at your split ends 😛

I am guilty of checking TMZ a few times a week. I hate to admit it, but I love celebrity gossip!
Melissa @ I Never Imagined says
I *may* have been *slightly* addicted to The Hills (until it ended… NOOOOOO!!!) but I’m not a fan of every reality show… Really, I’m not…
Anita says
would it be possible to make a raw Red Velvet cupcake? Or regular Red Velvet cupcake for 1 ? I could not imagine adding red food coloring to anything. I’ve seen recipes using beets.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh I will have to try!! 🙂
Mali K (The Mali K Whey) says
I’m a meat-eater, but your recipes always look so delicious and healthy that it makes me want to go Vegan!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aww 🙂
Olivia says
This looks sooooo good…and so unbelievably healthy! I can’t wait to try it, and thank you soo soo soo much Katie cakes!!! 🙂 PS (got any tips on how to open and get the meat out of a coconut)!? I’m terrible at it and always end up slicing my fingers!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL I have a technique… but it’s not pretty. I have an old knife that I put into the coconut by banging on it with another knife, to slice the top off. Very, very bad (especially for the knife, but it already has a dent in it lol). But it works!
Meki says
So in place of zucchini, I can replace it with 1 1/2 cups coconut meat? Thanks.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yup! If you try the pie, I’d love to know your thoughts!
Jules says
Does this pie have a really strong coconut flavor or is it more like chocolate? Do you think you could possibly try to concoct a chocolate peanut butter cream pie?! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I have one!! I think it’s going in my cookbook, but mention it in your email and I can send you the recipe!
deb thomas says
If you can’t find the Thai coconuts would coconut cream be an ok substitute, or is there something better?
Tia says
How many calories do you think would be in a serve of this?? It seems as though it would be suspiciously low! Hehe
Morgan says
Okay Katie, this one really got me. I am always looking for ways to use up Zucchini and of course – also looking for ways to eat more dessert. I was shocked at how good this was. It took no time to throw together – and definitely curbed my sweet tooth. What a great no-guilt snack!!(I didn’t have coconut meat but used my normal old shredded coconut..still delicious!!)
