 The Ways To Be Happy

Love is in the Air

No-Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

• 15 oz pureed pumpkin (or 1 can)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1-2 tsp cocoa powder
• level 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• optional: sweetener (Taste first. I thought it was sweet enough without additional sweetener.)

Melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave), then throw everything into a food processor and blend until it is super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust and fridge until chilled. This pie gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits.
