This is no ordinary pie. There’s no flaky crust or fruity filling. Instead, chewy cookie crust and fudgy chocolate brownie filling. I don’t think it can get any better than that.
So, what makes this pie taste super good? It’s the So Delicious yogurt! What’s so great about this yogurt is that it has the wonderful creamy texture of Greek yogurt, but it’s vegan. I just love it so much. True to its name, this yogurt is SO DELICIOUS!
I’m super excited for the holidays this year! I’ve always loved getting presents (I mean, who doesn’t?) but, this year I’ve been really excited about GIVING rather than receiving gifts. I have it all planned out. I’m going to make a variety of things: mason jar baking mixes, adorable custom mugs and chocolate spoons. I can’t wait!
This pie may look like a bit of a hot mess, but don’t think for a second that it’s not extremely delicious. This pie is:
Sweet
Cakey
Super fudgy
Great with ice cream (like Halo Top!)
No dairy was needed to make this pie. Wow… I’m really not one to say that sort of thing, but So Delicious has changed my mind. If I can still eat delicious creamy yogurt and be vegan, then it doesn’t sound so bad.
When I made this pie, at first, I thought it was a flop because of the unevenness of the brownie center. But, then I tried a slice and all those fears went away. I can’t wait for you guys to try this one. It’s certainly a must-try!
