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!

I made your chocolate cream pie for Easter and it was so delicious! When I was making it, I couldn’t help myself and tasted the “cream” before adding the chocolate and I thought it tasted similar to coconut cream and was wondering if you’ve adapted the recipe for a coconut cream pie and if so, would you mind sharing? My husband and dad both love coconut cream pie. Thanks!

I made the Chocolate Cream Pie recipe for Christmas dinner and, while it was very good, I was forced to put it in the freezer because it would not get firm. I followed the recipe exactly so I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

Hi,
Elana, I have your cookbook.. I am looking for a sweet ginger-snappy pie crust for a pumpkin pie.. any ideas on how this pie crust could be modified for that flavor? Thanks!
Lydia says
Thank you for yet another wonderful recipe. My dear friend loves the combination of chocolate and cinnamon so I added 2 teaspoons of cinnamon after adding the vanilla. It was divine!

Anyone got any tricks so the crust doesn’t stick to the Pyrex pie plate?
I made this pie crust with Elana’s pumpkin pie recipe from her book and it is amazing. Just wondering about non-stick tricks!
Thanks,
Jen

Me too but my crust burnt black! I followed the recipes completely. The only thing I did differently was I used a ceramic pie plate not glass……would that make a difference???

I made dairy free chocolate mousse the other day by using coconut cream, agave (or stevia) and unsweetened chocolate powder. The key is to putting the coconut cream in the fridge to get cold first, then whisking vigorously (I used my kitchen aid) with the other ingredients. I then put in the fridge (covered) to set for 30 min and it was very thick and DELICIOUS. I am excited to try this recipe as well. Thanks for all your great recipes Elana – you are a lifesaver.

I love to Bake and cook. Recently I have been changing the way I eat. Baking has been the biggest challenge as vegan and gluten free is a lot different from my old habits of baking. I found your site and have tried several recipes, including this one. I am impressed with the results. Thank you for sharing this as its really nice for people to share what has worked for them.

So far, three of your recipes made and three recipes have passed the ‘husband test’ – you’re recipes are a winner! I’m wheat intolerant so to make it easier I just avoid gluten, and to find recipes for cake, cookie and dessert substitutes that are easy, delicious AND my husband also loves is fantastic :) Thank you so much!

Elana,
Have you tried this recipe using lite coconut milk? Do you think it would change the consistency?
