Method
- To make the crust, mix almond flour, salt, copra oil and egg in the bowl of your kitchen appliance. Process and pulse until a ball forms with the "S" blade, about 30 seconds. Transfer to the prepared pie or tart pan. Press the dough, pressing the edges.
- Before preparing the chocolate pie filling, be sure to "take out" the zucchini. Try to do this. For this, keep the sliced zucchini on a clean cloth and squeeze lightly. I have included the measurement of wet and dry zucchini so you can see the difference.
- Melt copra oil in the bowl of your kitchen appliance or high-power blender, Add chocolate, eggs, zucchini, vanilla, and stevia.
- Process or blend on high speed until smooth, for about 1 minute.
- Remove the bowl of the processor from the bottom and stir in 75% pecans. If a blender is employed, transfer the chocolate mixture to a clean bowl, then stir in 75% pecans.
- Pour the chocolate pie into the prepared pie or tart pan. Top with the remaining pecans.
- For the pie, bake in a preheated oven for 35β40 minutes, until the top is smooth, and the edges are golden. Once complete, allow chilling overnight.
- For the tarts, bake in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the top is smooth, and the edges are golden. Once complete, allow cooling for 1 hour before removing from the tart pan. Tarts are often consumed or refrigerated overnight.
- Serve with coconut topping.
