decadent chocolate cream pie with a chocolate cookie crust for metabolic health + blood sugar balance

free of grain, gluten, dairy, refined sugar + it is low carb!

This decadent chocolate cream pie would make an excellent Thanksgiving dessert!

My family usually favors apple and pumpkin desserts (and, of course, cinnamon rolls) for Thanksgiving, but I heard you all loud and clear with your requests for a chocolate dessert to accompany the metabolically healthy and blood sugar-friendly Thanksgiving menu that I shared on Sunday.

Velvety chocolate, a chocolate cookie crust with a whipped coconut cream topping and chocolate shavings make this decadent pie a winner. The cookie crust is made with just 5 ingredients and no rolling required- just press the crust into the pie pan and bake for 6 minutes. Then turn off the oven because the rest of the pie is a no-bake situation!
