- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- a pinch of coarse sea salt

Instructions

- Chocolate: Whisk the chocolate filling ingredients in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Pour over crust.
- Topping: Sprinkle remaining crust on top and press gently to get it to stay put in the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with extra sea salt if you’re obsessed with sea salt not that I know a-ny-thing about that. 😉
