I recently completed a nine week nutrition challenge at our local crossfit gym. It.was.hard. You basically have to eat clean with no snacks, fast food, or soda for nine weeks. We had partners and we both worked so hard and would even meal prep together each week. We took first place in the competition and we were so excited!

Now I am all about living a healthy lifestyle. I eat pretty clean durning the week and portion control the meals that I make for my family. But I am ALL about adding in a delicious dessert and indulging every once in a while.

These French Silk Pie Bars were the first dessert after nine long weeks. And let me just say that they blew my mind!

The classic french silk is made with raw eggs. So you do have to eat these bars at your own risk. But I survived eating them and they were worth every single bite!

This was the one of the BEST desserts that I have EVER had.

They start with a delicious chocolate graham cracker crust. These bars are almost no bake but if you bake the crust first, it helps to hold the crust together making the bars easier to cut. You could always make the crust without baking it to make these 100% no bake.

You will not regret making this dessert! It is especially amazing topped with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings. This is a fantastic dessert that you will want to make again and again!
