Heavenly chocolate pie

This chocolate pie has legitimate hippie vibrations, but only if you set yourself on the list of ingredients. Slide this on the dessert table during a party, people will probably think that it is a creamy situation of chocolate foam pie, but there is more in history here. It comes from a very popular back -to -land compilation book that I picked up in the 2000s. Let’s see through it!

Heavenly chocolate pie: inspiration

A version of this chocolate pie was presented in the book Country Wisdom & Know-How: everything you need to know to live from the earth (2004). I came across the batteries of an SF bookstore when its giant format and bold lettering caught my attention. I turned directly into the section of full recipes where the heavenly pie greeted me as a black text on newspaper. I did it, we ate it and we submitted all those who had a slice of the game “Guess what is”.

Heavenly chocolate pie: the ingredients

Imagine a Honey– Sweet graham cookie crust filled with a chocolate chocolate with cream cheese. It seems quite typical, but that’s where it becomes interesting. The recipe requires equal parts tofu And cream cheese in the filling. This combination creates a decadent and frothy texture which is also a breeze to cut in precision slices. It was not too soft, and the butter The crust has beautifully played the light flavor of chocolate. So good!

No, really, this pie was absolutely delicious. That being said, I don’t know how the other recipes hold or where they were originally. Many look great at first glance, and if you are looking for “natural food” recipes, the ingredient lists here require a lot of whole grains, wheat flour, yogurt, natural and similar sweeteners. As was the case with the pie, you may have to make adjustments on the fly (for example, I had an additional filling), but with a little culinary know-how, and a certain flexibility on your part, the recipe section of this book is undoubtedly worth the roofing price.
