Ready for a pie that just screams Valentine’s Day? We've got you covered. This Chocolate Raspberry Pie is so simple, you may want to make a second for when the first one magically disappears.
The recipe includes multiple layers of chocolate, almond butter and berries that will keep you coming back for more. All ingredients are dairy free and the recipe can be made gluten free as well!
It starts with the homemade crust, which includes a ton of good-for-you ingredients, such as almond flour for fiber, monk fruit sweetener for all-natural sweetness and, of course, Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides! Now where else can you get that much out of a pie? (Did we mention we have you covered?)
We better get baking, because by the time it’s done, you may want the whole thing to “be mine!”

- 2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
- 1/4 C monk fruit sweetener
Filling:
- 3 dark chocolate bars

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and begin to develop the crust.

- While the crust is still slightly warm, break one of the chocolate bars and place all pieces in the center of the crust.
- Use a spoon or spatula to spread the chocolate to cover the crust completely.
- Once the pan is cool, place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour (you want the chocolate to harden completely).
- Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour in the almond butter to cover the surface (more almond butter may be added if desired).
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes - 1 hour (you want the almond butter to be cold).
- Melt the second bar of chocolate and spread on top of the almond butter, covering the entire pie.
