I know right. You have got to make this summer treat. I am telling you the pictures do not do justice to how good this is. This pie can be made into bars as well.
I recently added amazon affiliate store to the blog. The store has things I use like pantry items, all the lentils, beans, flours, vegan dog supplies, vegan and non animal tested personal items, my favorite cookbooks, and so on. check it out! I get a teeny amount when you buy from the store, which will be donated as does the ad revenue I make from the blog. 🙂

Salted Date Caramel, Chocolate Pie with Almond Coconut Crust. Vegan Glutenfree No Bake
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp almonds
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds, or use coconut flakes
- 2 Tbsp flax seed meal , or chia seeds or coconut flakes
- 1.5 Tbsp cocoa powder, omit for less chocolatey pie:)
- 3/4 cup coconut flakes, small flakes
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 8 soft medjool dates
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp or more almond milk
Salted Caramel Layer:
- 1 cup soft medjool dates, (approx 11 dates) - soaked in hot water for 15 minutes
- 2 Tbsp almond butter , or other nut butter
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup almond milk , or other non dairy milk
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, less for less salty caramel
Chocolate Mousse layer:
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 3 oz bar 70% dark Theo chocolate or about 2/3 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp almond butter
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Soak the dates, for the salted caramel layer in hot water, so they soak for the 15 minutes while you make the crust and topping.
Crust:
- Process the almonds until coarse meal in a food processor or blender. Add seeds, cocoa, dates, 1/4 cup coconut flakes, salt and pulse until the dates are incorporated well. Add the rest of the coconut flakes, vanilla, maple, almond milk and process until doughy. Add more almond milk or maple if needed and mix a bit your hands. Press the dough onto the pan. You can also make this into bars. Press the dough into a parchment lined 9 by 5 inch or smaller rectangle pan. For variations: Use more almonds or coconut to replace the seeds.
Salted Caramel:
- Drain the soaked dates. Puree all the ingredients+soaked dates listed under salted caramel to combine into a smooth puree. blend for a couple of cycles so the dates blend well. Taste and adjust sweet and salt(add maple or stevia if you like it sweeter). Spread on the crust.
Chocolate mousse:
- Heat coconut milk until it just about starts to bubble and add to a bowl. Add the chocolate and whisk to melt. Briskly whisk in the rest of the ingredients to aerate the mixture. Pour onto the caramel. Tap the pan to spread evenly.
- Freeze until set (a few hours), then slice and serve! The pie stays soft and well for weeks kept frozen. Cover the pie pan and freeze so that the top layer doesn't dry out.

Richa–first off, thank you so much for sharing this! It’s rare I find a recipe I fall in love with so quickly, but this one is definitely pinned and on my list of recipes to try out for the blog. I’m also just incredibly grateful I stumbled across your blog on FG because I love the authenticity of your blog, mission, and recipes.

holy cow, Richa…that is INCREDIBLE! what gorgeous photos and what a recipe! kudos!!!
This sounds amazing. Your recipes are amazing. Thank you.
I have a bunch of dates and am wondering if I could just make the date caramel for a spread. Do you think it would last? I’d be willing to freeze it, too.
yeah. if you are going to use the next day then just refrigerate it. else freeze, thaw and use. add more maple/stevia for a sweeter caramel.
Oh wow Richa this looks utterly scrumptious! This could be the perfect treat for my birthday celebrations next week 😉 Thank you so much for sharing the recipe xxx
This sounds incredible, Richa! I made an apple tart last night, but I am pinning this to make as soon as that’s gone. 🙂
Oh Richa you have truly outdone yourself with this one!! Beautiful!
