Chili Brownies
Fudgy and decadent are the best words to describe this wonderful, simple dessert recipe. They take a mere 20 minutes to pull together and appear far more indulgent than their rather healthy ingredient list lets on.

Blueberries and Cream Pie
Reminiscent of a light cheesecake with a crust made of ground pecans and dates, this dreamy confection relies on avocado and cashews to get its super creamy texture. If you can find wild blueberries, they tend to be more flavorful and will make for a really special slice of (no-bake) pie.
