I love truffles and chocolates, and make them year round.

The skulls, however! These are seen less often, and although they do come out for non Halloween celebrations, this is absolutely the time of year for skulls.

You guys.

It’s March.

First day of Spring. Sunshine. St Paddy’s Day. SXSW. March Madness.

SUNSHINE.

…and for the math nerd in me, Pi Day.

 

Longtime readers know I celebrate each year. Always with a vegan pie recipe, often shaped into Pi. At the very least, a Pi symbol carved into or built up from crust.

My 2018 Pi pie recipe is coming up soon, I promise.

and it is good.

In the meantime, to kick off the month I have a Pie Collection for Pi Day – sweet and savory, pie for everyone! Included in my years of recipes I have pizza, I have breakfast pie, I even have pie bites. For this upcoming important day, however – all the pies I am sharing here today were specifically made for Pi Day.

You can quickly see how I can tell the difference.

 

So, Celebrate Pi Day with Sweet and Savory Pie recipes:

Oh hey there, rich chocolate cake layered in fluffy chocolate mousse and bright raspberry jam.

How you doin’?

My dessert cravings are generally few: cheesecake or mousse, brownies or chocolate cake. This layered lovely encompasses two of those: tasty chocolate cake surrounded by layers of rich fluffy chocolate mousse.

Chocolate mousse frosting, but really – I may have made this “frosting” as a stand alone dessert too.

You would have done the same.

Single or attached, I have always liked Valentines Day. Single and spending it with friends, or in a relationship and celebrating.

Well, since getting married, we actually do the traditional anniversary gifts on this day. Because Valentines Day is the day we secretly got married in 2014. Yep, we were married with just a few loved ones as witnesses, with …
