The Plant Protein Revolution Cookbook

I love that at the beginning of this cookbook it addresses the protein myth! This book aligns with my thinking about protein and plants and I LOVE THAT it is helping shatter the myth that you cannot get enough protein on a plant based diet. That myth has been debunked over and over again…we even had a whole episode on the podcast about the top 10 vegetables that contain protein, listen here.

Ingredients in Protein Packed Chocolate – Kissed Peanut Butter Pie

This vegan pie is easy to make and our whole family, including the kids, loved it! My daughter is actually the one who picked out this recipe to make from the cookbook. I am so glad she did!

I love that this protein packed pie is ‘heathier’ and contains no refined sugar! It is also dairy free yet retains all the creaminess from silken tofu. The crust is made with almond flour which means this pie is gluten free as well.

How to Make Chocolate-Kissed Peanut Butter Pie

For this amazing no bake pie you will need a few kitchen utensils including:

First you will need to make your almond flour chocolate crust in the food processor. Next, put together your soft and creamy filling. You can use the food processor for making both the crust and the filling! Last you will put your pie in the refrigerator or freezer to firm into a fudgy texture. I put mine in the freezer and it was ready in less than four hours.

After your pie obtains a firm texture, melt your remaining chocolate and drizzle it over the pie and sprinkle with crushed peanuts! My whole family loved this pie and my kids did not even know it was made from tofu!

Directions to Store Your Chocolate Pie

This pie can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. If storing in the refrigerator, store for up to 3 days. In the freezer this pie can be stored safely for up to 3 months!

We stored our vegan chocolate pie in the freezer and then let it thaw slightly before eating. Since this pie is packed with plant based protein it is very filling! A small slice goes a long way.

I hope you get a chance to make this decadent chocolate – kissed pie! It is a rich, delicious and a healthy treat!

The addition of almond flour and tofu (plus the peanuts and peanut butter, of course) provide a wealth of protein to this decadent treat.
