Chocolate and Amaretto combine for this ultra delicious, creamy dessert.

This Chocolate Amaretto Pie is loaded with goodness like real cacao powder and just a touch of sweetness.

WHILE ALMONDS AND WALNUTS TEND TO GET MOST OF THE ATTENTION, IF YOU ASK ME, CASHEWS DESERVE SOME GLORY, TOO.

With a rich, buttery flavor and an impressive list of health benefits, cashews are one of the unsung heroes of a healthy eating lifestyle. They’re packed with protein, healthful fats, and vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These include vitamins E, K, and B6, along with minerals like copper, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, iron, and selenium, all of which are important for maintaining optimal bodily function.

And I probably don’t have to tell you that in addition to being a powerhouse of nutrients, they’re delicious too and the main component of my Chocolate Amarretto Pie.
