I love creamy pies, especially yummy chocolate ones like this…
I made this pie for our company last Saturday. We are not gluten-free, we occasionally have people over that are. I have found that pies with a gluten-free crust option are a perfect go-to recipe when you need to make a GF dessert – and I don’t think we’ve ever had company without making a dessert! I also wanted something quick and easy, which makes this recipe doubly appealing.
