Heavenly Raw Chocolate “Cream” Pie (v, gf)

This is a great recipe because these treats are made with real, whole foods, minimally processed to retain their fiber, antioxidants, and all their wonderful nutrients.  Best of all, they’re absolutely delicious, and can easily satisfy a chocolate or sweet craving. Because they’re so rich, it’s hard to overeat them, which is why they make a perfect dessert or energy boost. They take just a few minutes to prepare, and they’re well worth the effort.
