    JUMP TO RECIPE

    This Vegan chocolate Pie is light, airy and made with six ingredients plus pie crust. It's a perfect make-ahead dairy-free dessert.

    We're all about luscious chocolate desserts at my house. From my classic Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies to Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake, there's never a bad time for extra chocolate at the table.

    And this creamy pie is a perfect way to serve up rich chocolate during warm weather...or for the holidays! It's served cold and makes a refreshing and sweet end to any meal, especially Thanksgiving or Christmas. Serve it with Whipped Coconut Cream for good measure.

    ingredients for vegan chocolate pie with dairy-free milk, cornstarch, salt and vanilla.

    Ingredients

    You need just seven ingredients to make this easy vegan chocolate pie.

    • Sugar. Use organic to ensure it's vegan.
    • Non-dairy milk. Use creamy non-dairy milk, like soy milk or (my favorite) extra creamy oat milk. Canned coconut milk makes this pie even silkier.
    • Chocolate chips. Make sure they're dairy-free.
    • Cornstarch. To thicken the pie (it's gluten-free).
    • Vanilla. To balance the rich chocolate flavor.
    • Salt. To enhance the sweetness in your pie.
    • Pie crust. This recipe calls for baking the crust first. I recommend this vegan pie crust recipe. You can also use a premade graham cracker crust.

    Baking Tips

    • Make sure to constantly whisk the cornstarch, sugar, and non-dairy milk as it comes to a simmer. This is key to an extra-smooth filling. Otherwise, the cornstarch can overcook and make the mixture lumpy. As soon as it comes to a simmer and thickens, immediately remove the pot from the heat.
    • If you're making your own crust, let it cool fully before you add the chocolate filling. Otherwise, it may melt.
    • For gluten-free chocolate pie, use your favorite gluten-free pie crust recipe or store-bought option.

    Storage

    Store leftover chocolate pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Longer storage may give you a soggy crust.

    You can also freeze the pie for up to three months. Slice it first for faster defrosting. To thaw frozen pie, place it in the fridge overnight.

    Ingredients
      

    • pie crust pre-made/baked
    • ½ cup sugar

    • 2 cups vegan chocolate chips
