The idea for this delicious gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate cream pie recipe was inspired by Heidi of 101 Cookbooks. Although her recipes are not gluten-free, this site is currently my favorite food blog as I find Heidi’s recipes completely innovative and her photos mouth watering.
The gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan pie crust recipe above can be used, of course, for any pie, not just the chocolate cream pie. Enjoy!

Question could I use coconut flour instead? Also could I use coconut oil instead of grape seed oil? Thanks
Sarah says
OH MY GOSH, this pie is excellent! It’s not too sweet but certainly not bland. It’s perfectly creamy–I love it! We’ll be making this one again.
Hannah says
We have made this pie twice now and LOVE it! Thanks for making a recipe that is gluten and dairy, plus taste great!!!!

Just wanted to say I need to buy more almond flour because I am making too many of your recipes! (And I can’t be bothered making more of my own, which I have been doing so far but I appear to be using almond flour at a much quicker rate than anticipated) I’m not a celiac but find that your recipes taste great and satisfy my sweet tooth without making me feel sick afterwards.
I only tried the crust for a lemon curd pie I was making, and thought it looked a bit moist in comparison to normal pie pastry – is it meant to? Anyway, I ended up using twice as much almond flour. It tasted great but I think adding in too much almond flour meant I should have baked it for longer before filling.
Anyway, thanks for the recipe!

Hi Elana,
I’m thinking about making this with matzah meal (my own ground) instead of the arrowroot. Have you heard of anyone doing that? thanks!
Jen says
Am I really supposed to use 2 Tablespoons of vanilla?
Laura rechtfertig says
I can’t get the arrowroot to not clump. I beat with an elec mixer, by hand….stii lumpy. What am I doin wrong?
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura,
Arrowroot is a challenge, isn’t it?!
Make sure you whisk immediately after sifting the arrowroot into the liquid and keep at it vigorously.
Please let me know how it goes if you try again :-)
Thanks,
Elana

You can also mix the arrowroot powder with a little bit of the cold coconut milk in a small bowl and whisk until it forms a smooth paste and lumps are gone. Then slowly whisk that into the rest of the coconut milk! Fool proof way to avoid those pesky starch lumps!!!

Thank you for a pie crust recipe that omits ALL the problem ingredients. I should be able to actually EAT this one.
