Gluten Free Chocolate Mini Pies

The box doesn’t lie, these crackers are irresistible! Plus Blue Diamond Almond Nut-Thins are wheat and gluten-free, so if you have a dietary restriction or just plain love almonds like I do, you will really enjoy them. I liked them so much that I ate them plain, with a little chocolate peanut butter and my all time favorite… dipped in salsa.

But lets get back to the chocolate pie, shall we? Whether you’re GF or not, you’re going to want one of these delicious little gluten free chocolate mini pies. Rich chocolate custard sits atop a sweet and salty gluten free almond cracker crust, making these pies a delicious dessert everyone will love.

Of course the only thing better than chocolate pie is chocolate pie with a little whipped cream and a bit of extra chocolate shavings on top. I mean am I wrong?

Whether or not you are usually gluten free in your diet, I hope that you will try these mini pies, enjoy and happy baking!

    I love blue diamond crackers, but NEVER thought to use as a pie crust base–what a fabulous idea! And the filling looks incredible!

      Thanks Krista! I don’t have a gluten allergy, but I know a lot of people do – so I thought why not just swap these tasty Nut Thins for a twist on the classic graham cracker crust 🙂

    Those Nut Thins, I may or may not have eaten way too many of them today. First it started with brie cheese. Then it moved on to them solo. I love them! What a fun recipe to make with them too, Emily!
