The combination of delicious dough and soft cream topped with cherries makes an amazing dessert.
Chocolate pie is one of our favourite pies. It’s an amazing dessert filled with lots of delicious chocolate cream, that is not like any other chocolate cream, it has a secret ingredient that you could never guess if you just tried it! It is sweet potato! Yes you heard it right and it is a perfect ingredient for the cream, because it is naturally pretty sweet, so you don’t have to add a lot of sweeteners and it has the perfect texture for cream – check out the video down below to see just how nice and soft it is. This cream is definitely one of our favourites, because it is so chocolaty, very healthy, oil free, and isn’t too sweet. We use it for cakes, oat bars , truffles or just eat it on its own, since it’s really delicious!
