I should call this Death by Chocolate Pie or Heaven in a Chocolate Pie :). There is chocolate, all smooth and delicious in the filling and chocolate in the crust. I added some cashew cream on top but really you can drizzle some melted chocolate and basically be in chocolate coma for the rest of the day. A very good coma I must say.
The filling is coconut milk and melted dark chocolate. The crust is almonds, oats, cocoa and just a little oil. Add more or less cocoa to the crust to chocolatey preference. You can make the filling with blended up silken tofu and melted chocolate as well. I like mine with coconut milk :). The filling melts in the mouth and the crust adds another punch of chocolate just when you thought the silky chocolate is all gone. Look at the slice below.. that filling and the crust! And this is perfect for Mother’s day too!
That’s it, no more chocolate recipes for a month. I need to do a no-chocolate cleanse to get over this one.
I am bringing this Vegan Chocolate Silk Pie to Ella’s virtual baby shower! If you haven’t stopped my Pure Ella before, do drop by to say hi. Ella’s space is filled with brightness, beauty and joy, happiness, hard work and fun.
Melt in my mouth! I was not going to take this bite photograph, then decided it looked too good to not. Hence, my messy plate 😉 also ignore my attempt at cashew cream piping. I don’t have any piping supplies.
This sudden turn of liking dark chocolate is going to be the bane of me this year. Even though I barely eat 1 helping in a day, when I make something, I have weeks when I crave some chocolate every day. And to imagine I would go years without any chocolate before :). mmm. chocolate.
A 5 yr old visitor ate one whole slice which was supposed to be shared with her mom. Let’s just say that we had an invisible trampoline in the house for the next 2 hours 😉

Hi! I dont understand how much 1 15 oz of cocout milk is. (Here in sweden we use “deciliter” and that seems very much 😛 😉 )
it is about 1.5 cups. or 4.5 decilier
I’ve understood 1 cup = 2,25 dl? Which would make about 3,75 dl, right??
Also I wonder about the chocolate oz above… is it 1, 3 or 13 or how do i interpret that bit? 🙂
its one 3 oz bar , or 3 oz chocolate. or 2/3 US cup chocolate, i’ll change it to be clear 🙂
Really tempting and delicious chocolate pie..Yummy !!!!
That’s amazing! When I saw that it didn’t contain soy, I was expecting cashews – it never would have occurred to me to think that you could thicken up coconut milk like that, it must add such richness and depth to it! Definitely going to try this recipe out. I like the sound of a chocolate coma:D
Richa, this pie looks so delicious! Your pictures are making me hungry! Glad we got to “meet” at Ella’s baby shower 🙂
Looks fabulous Richa! My kind of pie too…no tofu!! Haha! Seems every pie I’ve seen lately is tofu…but this one is delicious. This is how I make my chocolate mousse…with coconut milk and cocoa powder, so I know I would love the pie with the melted dark chocolate since the cocoa butter in it would help it set up nicely. Well done, I’m going to have to make this…I just wish there were more hours in the day!!! I’m up to my eyeballs writing recipes, but there are so many of yours I’ve seen that I’m dying to make!! 🙂
Ummm holy cow I just want to face plant in this! I’ve been totally looking for a vegan chocolate pie like this that doesn’t contain soy or tofu. Brilliant recipe <3
XO SHERRIE
I made this for Mother’s Day and it was fantastic….as I just lick the chocolate off my fork as I’m eating my last bite of my slice tonight. It was easy, albeit I had to grind my oat flour and flax because I didn’t have any but it was so worth it. Yum!
Awesome!! I am so happy you made it and loved! I say keep a bag of already ground oat flour ready to make it again and again 😉
Yes I have extra now. I use oat flour quite a bit. But now that I got a Vitamix I can make my own!! It definitely satisfies the chocolate cravings.
“I should call this Death by Chocolate Pie or Heaven in a Chocolate Pie :).” Yes you should definitely do so! Much more appropriate!!! 😉
Am curious: what’s your cashew cream topping? I’ve made whipped coconut cream before that ‘dollops’ nicely like your photos here, but never cashew cream. Any tips? Thanks!
its plain thick cashew cream piped on top. you can add some sugar to it if you like and pipe it.
Thanks again. I’ll have to try that idea–sometimes you don’t always want the extra coconut flavor in the topping. And the pie is on my list of things to make now–looks intensely delicious!
Look at that filling -amazing! So creamy and smooth. I need to have this in my life!
