Rich, fudgy and made with five real ingredients—no baking required.

I’ve been working behind the scenes on my new 5 Ingredients or Less cookbook, and I couldn’t wait until September to share a little taste with you!

Every recipe is being created with the same goal: fewer ingredients, cleaner swaps and food your entire family will actually want to eat. The complete cookbook should be ready in September, and paid subscribers will be the first to access it online!

Today, you’re getting an exclusive sneak peek: my ridiculously easy, rich and fudgy five-ingredient chocolate pie. It tastes like an indulgent dessert—without the sugar overload, processed crust or endless list of additives.

Paid subscribers, keep reading for the recipe!


Why This Swap Works

Most chocolate pies are made with:

❌ Refined sugar
❌ Highly processed crusts
❌ Unnecessary additives

This one is:

✔ Rich and satisfying from real ingredients
✔ Completely no-bake
✔ Made with only five ingredients

Jen Tip

The quality of your dark chocolate makes all the difference. Choose one with a rich cacao flavor and a clean ingredient list—cheap chocolate can leave the entire pie tasting flat.

Consider this your first official taste of the cookbook! I cannot wait to share the full collection with you in September.
