almond flour

🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

sliced almonds

🥗Healthier: chopped walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are nut-free and more affordable.

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl.

Pour in the milk and add vanilla extract and butter.

Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute.

If lumps form, remove from heat and whisk quickly until smooth, then return to heat.

Once smooth, pour the mixture into a bowl to cool slightly before adding the chocolate spread.

Add Moretti's dark chocolate almond spread to the cooled mixture and stir until combined.

Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie shell and smooth the top.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, covering with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Top with whipped cream, toasted almonds, and chocolate shavings before serving.
