Raspberry Chocolate “Pie”

This dessert is one of my favorite recipes of all time. It is absolutely delicious, and when I serve at parties, no one notices the absence of sugar or grains. My kids love this and ask for it instead of birthday cake. On top of all that, it is incredibly easy to make!

    I made this today with orange slices instead of raspberries because I couldn’t find any good berries. The chocolate and orange combination was yummy too!

    I made this tonight for a progressive dinner and it was delicious!! I knew the dessert home would be full of things with sugar and wheat, things I’ve been avoiding during pregnancy, and so this recipe seemed to fit the bill. Everyone loved it! The chocolate crust was wonderful and the tartness of the berries married so well with the whipped cream! I used frozen raspberries instead of fresh since I couldn’t find any, but it still worked out wonderfully. The berries were more just chilled than frozen by the time we made it to the last house for dessert anyway.

    Seriously, wonderful!!!!
