Chocolate Nut Crust (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)
This no bake chocolate nut crust takes less than 3 minutes to make and if you are following the Kaufmann diet, it would be considered Kaufmann 2 friendly. This chocolate nut crust is so versatile, lately I have been filling the crust with sugar free puddings and I also use it for my almond butter pie recipe. For those of you that are new to Doug Kaufmann’s diet, it focuses on starving out pathogens such as yeast and candida, therefore, it’s a diet low in sugar and carbs.
