No-Bake Chocolate Chickpea Pie with Pretzel Crust

This rich, dark chocolate pie has an easy pretzel crust for that perfect sweet/salty bite. It tastes indulgent, but it’s actually packed with whole food ingredients and a healthy dose of plant-based protein. No one will ever guess the secret ingredient (chickpeas!).

For the Crust:
226.8 grams (8 ounces) salted pretzels (use gluten-free if necessary)
3 tablespoons coconut sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil, soft but not melted

For the Dark Chocolate Chickpea Filling:
15 ounces cooked chickpeas, rinsed very well and drained
½ cup + 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
½ cup coconut sugar
½ cup non-dairy milk (I used organic soy)
⅓ cup melted raw cacao butter
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt

For Topping:
sliced strawberries
blueberries
coconut whipped cream
vegan dark chocolate shavings
pretzel pieces
