I like to finish the week with a dessert especially when there is chocolate involved. So why not a 3 layer gluten-free chocolate blackberry pie, might as well go all out! The layers are made up of nut based crust, fresh blackberries and chocolate custard. To bring out the chocolate flavour, I added some coffee to the custard making this pie outstanding! This dessert is not the typical healthy recipe for January, but it is so good, I just had to share it with you. For me, it is all about portions. I have a small piece and enjoy every bite without feeling guilty, just like the French do. I believe it is all about balance, this is especially important when it comes to food. After all, this pie has plenty of fresh blackberries, so it is sort of healthy 🙂 If you don’t want to make this heavenly gluten-free dessert in January, save it for another time, it’s a keeper!
