Treat Tuesday-Chocolate Silk Pie

IMG_0260I know what you are thinking.  It is January 5 and PIE?!  I thought about doing a healthy version of Treat Tuesday but I knew that might cause a revolt in my house.  Some days, even in January, you just need a little chocolate.

IMG_0243Actually maybe a little chocolate with graham crackers.

IMG_0244A graham cracker crust to be exact.  This recipe uses cinnamon and brown sugar mixed in with the crackers.

IMG_0248After baking for 7 short minutes, your kitchen will smell amazing!

IMG_0249The filling comes together very quickly in the mixer, but the key is really beating the batter to whip air into the mixture.  This is basically chocolate mousse in a pie crust.  No more baking required, just a few hours in the fridge.

IMG_0250You have been so good for 5 days.  You deserve a piece of pie.  If it makes you feel better, have an extra helping of vegetables tomorrow.
