TIPS
Make this pie even better by adding fresh, sliced strawberries on top!
MELTING CHOCOLATE: If you have never melted chocolate before, just follow the instructions on the chocolate chip bag. You can easily use a double boiler to melt the chocolate or put it in the microwave. But never, ever, ever add water to chocolate you want to melt. It will not melt with water. If you think you need to add liquid, judiciously add vegetable oil (e.g., coconut oi) or butter.
PLANT-BASED: In addition to using plant-based butter and plant-based whipped cream, make sure to use plant-based chocolate, as some chocolates do contain milk.
GLUTEN-FREE: We made this with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies! Mori-Nu Silken Tofu is Certified Gluten Free. Check labels on other ingredients.
