Secretly Healthy Cookie Dough Pie

Secretly Healthy Cookie Dough Pie made with almond flour and almond butter. A simple homemade dessert with classic cookie dough flavor.

I chose to make this pie because I wanted a dessert which felt indulgent without leaving everyone sluggish afterward. Cookie dough flavors bring instant comfort, and this version keeps the balance just right. It fits well after dinner or as a weekend treat with coffee. I enjoy desserts which feel familiar but a little smarter.

What I like most about this recipe is the texture. The filling stays soft and rich while the top holds together like classic cookie dough. The chocolate chips melt slightly and settle into every bite. This is the sort of dessert you cut into and immediately know it will be enjoyed.

When I served this at home, the response said everything. Quiet bites, slow chewing, and a few raised eyebrows followed by smiles. No one rushed through their slice. It became one of those desserts people ask about later, which is always a good sign.
