Chocolate Strawberry Pie

This is my own recipe for chocolate strawberry pie. I feed it to non-vegans all the time who rave about it. My grandma, who is a very traditional Paula Deen style chef (butter, butter, butter) absolutely loved it... until she saw the ingredients. But don't let that stop you! It's very creamy, rich and decadent, while being so much healthier than the chocolate cream pies made with butter, fat, and cream cheese. It also only take about 10-15 minutes to prepare if you buy a pre-made crust (about 30 min if you make your own!)
