Dairy Free Chocolate Pie #vegan #glutenfree
Chocolate Pie and Pudding have been my favorite dessert, especially when my mother would make it. She always made a graham cracker crust with the pie.
Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 224kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cashews I used salted and didn't rinse
- 1/3 cup almonds
- 2/3 cup organic natural sugar
- 1/2 cup scant cornstarch
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup powdered cocoa
- 1/8 cup coconut flakes
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups non dairy milk I used organic soy milk vanilla flavored
Instructions
- Place ALL the ingredients EXCEPT for the soy milk, in a heavy duty blender. I use a Blendtec Blender.
- Blend on whole foods pre-programmed cycle until very smooth
- Then add soy milk and blend on lowest speed briefly until blended.
- Pour the mixture into a large 4 qt saucepan and bring to a boil or until mixture thickens which takes about 5 - 8 minutes. This mixture thickens very quickly so stir often to prevent burning or scorching.
- Pour cooked mixture into either a pre baked pie crust or into pudding bowls and chill a few hours or overnight for the pie. Top the pie with shaved chocolate curls for garnish.
Notes
This makes a delicious vanilla cream base for banana cream pie if you leave the chocolate out.
