Happy Friday!

Looks to good to be true, doesn’t it???

A chocolaty, decadent dessert…that’s all anyone needs to know!

But, underneath it all is chia seeds, oats, flax and tofu sweetened with a little bit of chocolate and agave.  Yes, tofu!  I even fooled my husband with this one!  Silken tofu is used as the “pudding” making for a healthier dessert.  I am so happy I found this simple crust recipe, I will definitely use it again with other pies!  I just made minor substitutions and used the entire recipe for one pie to create a thicker crust.

Here’s the recipe!
