It’s a cold and rainy winter’s day here in Pittsburgh.
So I’m cheering myself up with some chocolate pie and carpool karaoke. My absolute favorite episode is a rainy day trip around London with Adele. (video below) Her personal anecdotes are just the best. Like, “I got drunk three times in a week recently, because Christmas.” (Remind me to use that excuse over the holidays.) These two are just delightful together.
And the pie was good too.
It’s a low carb take on a classic French Silk pie. My version has a chocolatey pudding filling inside a coconut crust, with whipped cream on top. It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a rainy day like today. And it’s only got 8g net carb per slice. Not that your non-low carb friends and family will notice. This pie can totally pass for a normal sugary one. No question.
In fact, I think I might just have a second slice of pie.
Because… Christmas.
