This pie is hands down my husbands favorite pie and the most requested by him anytime I’m going to make a pie! Its rich, decadent, and just a treat!

For Pi day this year he requested that I make him one and I used it as an opportunity to try out a new crust I have been wanting to play around with. I used Einkorn flour here and added in some dutch cocoa to the mix, it was heavenly!

We use Einkorn flour a lot as we have gluten sensitivity in our home and we all do really well with this flour. It also is a great sub for regular all purpose and can almost be subbed as a 1:1 with a slight decrease in the liquids. But you can use ap flour here! Just decrease by 1/2 c!

If you are a french silk pie lover, give this recipe a go! I topped with homemade whipped cream and some extra chocolate chips.

Enjoy!
