Who Has Time To Bake Pie? No Need With This White Chocolate Mousse Layered Healthy Pumpkin Pie
One of the most disappointing things about homemade pie is those 1-2 hours it takes to cook. The only reason I believe the oven light was invented was so you could turn it on, push your face up to the warm glass and stare at pie. Even if you do that there isn’t much visible change happening while a pie crisps up.
Although pie has its place in life I wanted to make a recipe that tastes of pie but requires no long hours of staring or waiting. And it’s healthy enough that you can have it for breakfast.
It is three separate layers but the steps are pretty easy.
