Crust:
Stuffed:
- 1 can coconut milk, canned
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1 tablespoon Quest Chocolate Shake Protein Powder
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut for garnish
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick spray. Tear cookies into bite-sized pieces and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
- Place the cooled cookies in a high-speed blender and blend until fine crumbs form.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Use a fork to mix. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Bake the pie crust for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix together the coconut cream and gelatin. Turn on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the protein powder.
- Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the boiling mixture over the chocolate.
- Allow to sit for 5 minutes before mixing until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour the chocolate into the base and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Top with crushed macadamia nuts and toasted coconut. Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve.
