Here is a new dessert that is protein packed, but no one will know. The name alone piqued my curiosity!
Dreamy Creamy Chocolate Pie
Servings: 4
FOR CRUST:
6 pitted dates
⅓ cup quick oats
⅓ cup unsalted pistachios
FOR FILLING:
2 cups reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup + 1 Tbsp. chocolate Life Shake (soy or plant based will do)
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. liquid stevia
¼ tsp. sea salt / Himalayan salt
½ cup sliced strawberries
2 Tbsp. chopped cacao nibs
Instructions:
1. To make the crust, add dates, oats, and pistachios to a food processor; pulse until well combined. Texture will be crumbly but should hold together when pinched. Use fingertips to press mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan; set aside.
2. To make filling, add yogurt, protein powder, cornstarch, stevia, and salt to a food processor; blend on high, scraping down sides once, for 2 minutes, or until super-smooth.
3. Spread yogurt mixture over crust. Press strawberries into top; sprinkle with cacao nibs.
4. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
5. To serve, run hot water over a butter knife; slide the butter knife around the edge of the springform pan to release the pie. Release springform ring; slice pie into 4 equal pieces. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
