30 Semi-Healthy Days - Day 14: Lighter Chocolate Pie
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 package oreo cookies (or similar)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 2 Tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 envelope Dream Whip (or other dessert whipped topping package)
- 3/4 cup coconut milk (or regular milk)
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts, optional
Instructions:
- Combine the melted butter and oreos in a food processor until it reaches a texture like wet sand.
- Press into a pie plate to form the crust and store in fridge or freezer until the filling is made.
- Cream together the butter and sugar for 2 or 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the melted chocolate and Greek yogurt, mixing until smooth (about 5 minutes).
- Combine the coconut milk and the dream whip package in a bowl with a hand mixer, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Fold into the chocolate mixture until combined.
- Pour into chilled pie crust and smooth with a spatula. Chill until firm - about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts. Heat the oven to 180 degrees F. and spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Let the hazelnuts cool and then place in a dish towel and roll in between the towel to remove the skins (don't worry if you don't get all of them).
- Roughly chop the hazelnuts and scatter over the top of the pie.
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream!
