Chocolate Pudding Pie | Gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free.Hey friends! Happy Pi(e) Day! It’s supposed to be Pi as in the number, but when I hear the word “pi” I don’t think math, I think dessert! It’s called Pi day because it’s March 14th, or 3.14 (get it?!) I love food holidays like this, because it gives me the perfect excuse to bake! Although, it feels like a refrigerator outside right now, so I’m happy to hang out next to the warm oven!

Chocolate Pudding Pie | Gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free.Instead of a fruit pie, which I have several of already on the blog, I thought I’d make another of my favorites, Chocolate Pudding Pie! Because Chocolate!!! 😍🍫

It’s essentially a cream pie, but the filling is like a luxuriously creamy pudding so the name is fitting.

Chocolate Pudding Pie | Gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free.Unlike most cream pies, this version is free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar! But it doesn’t taste like it…you still have a tender crust, rich, chocolatey filling and a fluffy coconut whipped cream slathered all over the top. I even topped it with extra chocolate, you know, for good measure!

What are you still doing here?! Go take advantage of this day and make some pie!

Description

This cream pie is a trio of perfection with a tender gf crust filled with a rich chocolate pudding and topped with a honey sweetened coconut whipped cream. Gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons palm shortening (dairy-free), butter, or a combo of both
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • 1–3 tablespoons ice cold water, if needed (just enough to make dough hold together)

Filling:

  • 1 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup corn starch
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 cups almond milk or other milk of choice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon dairy-free or grass-fed butter
  • 1–2 cans coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk (can also use 1 cup heavy cream if not dairy-free)
  • 3–4 tablespoons honey, coconut syrup, or other sweetener of choice (use more or less to taste)
  • Chopped/shaved chocolate or cacao nibs, optional

Instructions

Pie Crust:

  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add shortening/butter and cut into the flour with a fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly and no large chunks of fat remain.
  2. In a small bowl mix together lemon juice/vinegar and egg. Add to the flour mixture and blend with a fork. If necessary, add cold water a tablespoon at a time until dough comes together. Careful not to add too much.
  3. Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a circle a little larger than your pie plate.
  4. Use the parchment paper to invert the crust into your pie plate. Trim and shape the edges. Place into the fridge to chill for 20-30 minutes.
  5. After chilling, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and place into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the paper and weights, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is a light golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Filling:

  1. Into a large, heavy saucepan, mix together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in egg yolks and then slowly whisk in the milk.
  2. Place on the stove over medium heat, stirring continuously, until mixture is thick and bubbling.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
  4. Pour chocolate filling into the prepared pie shell and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm.

To Serve:

  1. Scoop firm coconut cream from the can(s) into a large mixing bowl and discard any liquid remaining (I used 2 cans of the coconut cream from Trader Joe’s) Add sweetener and vanilla, and continue to beat until smooth and fluffy (several minutes).
  2. Cover the pie with the whipped cream and top with chocolate (optional). Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

    I was never a giant chocolate pudding fan as a kid, but then as I got older, I adoooored the little Swiss Miss cups a little too much haha! This sounds like a glorious upgrade. Loved the slab pie demo yesterday on feedfeed IG Joscelyn!! So adorable– you need to do more videos!

      Aww, thanks Minna! Really appreciate the feedback! I was seriously contemplating whether I should do it or not, but I know I need to grow and get more comfortable with video as that’s where social media is headed. This pie is definitely an upgrade from the pudding cups we all adored when we were younger! Pudding is so much yummier with coconut whipped cream and pie crust for some reason, haha! Thanks for stopping by, my friend! Enjoy your weekend!
