Today is a very special day, not only is it Shy Strawberrys birthday but its also Chocolate Pecan Pie Day! What better way to celebrate than with this amazing and delicious healthy recipe! This really is one of my favourite desserts its so hard to believe that is healthy and nutritious and I just love how beautiful it looks the 4 layers look amazing and taste incredible too. The best thing about it though has to be that its super easy and theres no baking involved whatsoever. Im a massive fan of cashew icing Ive used it in quite a few of my dessert recipes but for this one Ive added a sprinkle of cinnamon which really compliments the other layers in the pie. I really hope you all like it let us know what your favourite layer is. We love them all! Find all our recipes at www.mynutricounter.com
