Dessert For Chocolate Lovers

Vegan chocolate cream pie is truly THE perfect dessert for all chocolate fans! The mind-blowing creamy chocolate filling is made with melted chocolate, silken tofu, and oat milk.

Blend those ingredients in a blender, and you have a luscious vegan chocolate cream pie filling. Pour it into the premade raw almond pie crust and indulge your pie. So ridiculously easy it is!

Imagine a creamy and soft filling, similar to chocolate mousse, with a rich semi-sweet chocolate flavor combined with a crunchy almond crust.

Want more?Sprinkle the chocolate pie with sea salt flakes or dairy-free whipped cream and finely grated chocolate.

If you love this kind of dessert, you MUST try this pie! A dream come true for chocolate fans! Plus, this pie is 100% vegan, egg-free, and dairy-free. As if that wouldn’t be enough, this dessert recipe is so simple and quick to prepare!

Is It Healthy?

Raw no-bake chocolate pie doesn’t contain refined sugar. Nevertheless, I suggest using two tablespoons of maple syrup for the filling and four tablespoons for the crust. No extra sugar is needed for this recipe.

Still, chocolate, even if you go for semi-sweet chocolate, already contains sugar. I love to use bittersweet chocolate with at least 60-70% cocoa to make this pie. Feel free to use unsweetened chocolate chips.

If you are crazy about sweet desserts, this recipe might not be the right fit for you. It’s not super sweet! However, you can sweeten the filling with a sweetener such aserythritol,xylitol, orstevia. This is up to you!

No Bake Pie Crust

Who doesn’t love a quick no-bake pie recipe? No-bake means this vegan chocolate tart is raw! No oven needed!

Almonds and cacao powder are the secrets to this raw pie crust. Pulse them a few times in a blender until it resembles coarse crumbs (or fine crumbs if you prefer). Then, mix it with maple syrup and coconut oil to stick together and press it into a pie pan.

I highly recommend using a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. This ensures that you can lift the chocolate tart out of the pan in one piece, which looks stunning and makes your friends and family think you are a baking pro! 😉

Alternatively, use a classic pie pan (without removable bottom). As soon as the pie becomes firm, you can cut it into pieces and easily remove them from the pan.

If you prefer a classic pie crust, prepare it according to this vegan pie crust recipe that you must blind bake and let cool before adding the chocolate filling. Or even easier, buy a store-bought vegan pie crust.

FAQs

Why is my chocolate pie runny? ›

This can happen for several reasons: if the cooking process was rushed, if the filling wasn't carefully watched and stirred frequently, the filling was overcooked, the stovetop heat was too high, or if the pie isn't given enough time to chill. Any ingredient substitutions could also result in a runny chocolate pie.

What is the best thickener for pie filling? ›

Cornstarch. Cornstarch is a super-effective thickener that doesn't need much time to cook, although it does require high temperatures to activate. To avoid clumps, mix cornstarch with sugar before adding it to your filling.

What is the best ingredient to use in thickening the filling of cream pies? ›

How do you get chocolate to set? ›

Chocolate typically takes about 20-30 minutes to fully harden and set at room temperature. By placing your melted chocolate in the fridge, you can cut these times in half, speeding up the hardening process.

Why does my chocolate pie weep? ›

Overbaking causes the egg whites to shrink and squeeze out small droplets of moisture. Always make sure to check on your pie at the minimum baking time. Undissolved sugar in the egg whites can also cause weeping.

How do I keep my pies from being runny? ›

Adding Thickener

A thickener prevents the filling from being too watery by adding a substance that will absorb some of the liquid that seeps out of the fruit. A small amount of thickener should not alter the flavor of your pie. Use cornstarch as a thickener.

Why is my chocolate pie grainy? ›

Chocolate is very sensitive to heat and melts at just above body temperature. But if it gets too hot then it will turn grainy or lumpy and the fats will start to separate out. Sometimes this can be corrected by adding some cream or water.

What to do if pie filling is runny? ›

The most common and accessible way to thicken pie filling is by using a starch. Starches' thickening power comes from their ability to absorb water, which causes the granules to swell, thickening the liquid.

Why is my no bake cheesecake filling too runny? ›

If your cheesecake filling goes soupy in texture, don't worry—you can fix it! Just add a little gelatin to the mix, and it will set up in the fridge just fine. The trick is to use just enough gelatin so you don't end up with a jello texture for your cheesecake.

How do you make a pie filling firmer? ›

Cornstarch has thickening power similar to Instant ClearJel. Like flour, it lends a cloudy, semi-transparent look to filling. It can also give filling a starchy taste. For full effectiveness, make sure the pie filling is bubbling up through the crust before removing your pie from the oven.

What can I use instead of cornstarch to thicken pie filling? ›

All-purpose flour is an easy substitute for cornstarch; in fact you may see recipes for thickening pie fillings or soups with either. You'll need 2 tablespoons of flour for every 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a recipe.
