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.

I made this for an office potluck and I could only taste the separate components while I was making it (because it’s obvious when you take a sample slice beforehand). At the omni potluck, the first person to eat it said, “This is literally the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!” So lush, rich, delicious and easy to make. Thank you, Richa.
Awesome!! so glad everyone loved it!!
hi, could u put the ingredients in spanish pleeease?
jimena, See the right side bar for the Translate button, choose spanish from the list to translate the whole page into spanish. hope this helps.
I made this for a family birthday party this past weekend and everyone loved it! I have a few pieces hidden in my freezer for when I want a sweet treat.
Awesome!
Making the salted caramel choc pie again today (second time) and neglected to grind my flax seeds. I hope this is not a fatal flaw!:) Reminder to me to READ carefully!
it should be fine if the crust wasnt crumbly. those seeds might be something chewy in the crust 🙂
I made this pie for Christmas and it was a HUGE hit! Thank you so so so much!
Chek it out here!

Awesome!
After looking at this recipe for 2 months I finally made it this week and was NOT disappointed. Delicious, easy, beautiful. And I am not a dessert person. A+ Keeper!!
Awesome!
OH MY GOD :’) …. I won’t complain anymore! This pie, lady Richa, is insanely delicious!! I just ate a piece and I cannot believe how good it is 😀 :D… I am so happy right now hah…
I just realised that I have been writing about mouse the whole time instead of mousse. That’s hilarious 😀
I have just made this pie. It’s in the freezer right now. I had a hard time blending the dates, because in general the dates I buy here are quite hard. And I soaked them for even longer than the recipe says. So that’s frustrating, that it’s always hard to find good ingredients. But okay I’ll stop the complaining and just say that I licked the bowl after I poured on the chocolate layer and it’s crazy good! I just thought that I can probably make chocolate mouse out of it. Chocolate mouse was onevof my favourites before going vegan so a substitute for that would be awesome!
I’m looking forward to eating the pie! ♡
P.s. I really have to stop cooking from your blog and start cooking from your book more. But my list is so long 😀 😀
yes definitely soak them longer until they are really soft and easy mashed by hands. we get soft and delicious dates here which blend up beautifully 🙂 there is a triple chocolate mousse cake on the blog that might interest you 😉
We wrote at exactly the same moment! That’s so funny :D. I will definitely check out the triple chocolate mouse pie! Thanks for the tip xoxo
