I should call this Death by Chocolate Pie or Heaven in a Chocolate Pie :). There is chocolate, all smooth and delicious in the filling and chocolate in the crust. I added some cashew cream on top but really you can drizzle some melted chocolate and basically be in chocolate coma for the rest of the day. A very good coma I must say.
The filling is coconut milk and melted dark chocolate. The crust is almonds, oats, cocoa and just a little oil. Add more or less cocoa to the crust to chocolatey preference. You can make the filling with blended up silken tofu and melted chocolate as well. I like mine with coconut milk :). The filling melts in the mouth and the crust adds another punch of chocolate just when you thought the silky chocolate is all gone. Look at the slice below.. that filling and the crust! And this is perfect for Mother’s day too!
That’s it, no more chocolate recipes for a month. I need to do a no-chocolate cleanse to get over this one.
I am bringing this Vegan Chocolate Silk Pie to Ella’s virtual baby shower! If you haven’t stopped my Pure Ella before, do drop by to say hi. Ella’s space is filled with brightness, beauty and joy, happiness, hard work and fun.
Melt in my mouth! I was not going to take this bite photograph, then decided it looked too good to not. Hence, my messy plate 😉 also ignore my attempt at cashew cream piping. I don’t have any piping supplies.
This sudden turn of liking dark chocolate is going to be the bane of me this year. Even though I barely eat 1 helping in a day, when I make something, I have weeks when I crave some chocolate every day. And to imagine I would go years without any chocolate before :). mmm. chocolate.
A 5 yr old visitor ate one whole slice which was supposed to be shared with her mom. Let’s just say that we had an invisible trampoline in the house for the next 2 hours 😉

Very,very delicious!!!
Like I always said « Vegan Richa =tasty recipes »
Can you make it with cashew milk instead of coconut milk.
You can, but note that this will change the pie’s flavor.
OMG–this has no business being this delicious! If you like chocolate–it’s a must-make. I used a 13.5 fl oz can of coconut milk since that’s what I had, and per another review, took two tablespoons out of it to put into the crust and it still turned out amazing. I also used all dark chocolate. Baking the crust definitely brought this pie to another level. If you want to wow folks, make this pie!
Yay!!
Amazing cake 👌👌, looks yummy sure will try
Thank u
hope that you enjoy it, have fun
Hi Richa,
Can I omit the coconut oi in the filling?
And also, EVERY recipe I’ve made of yours has been excellent! Thank you!
Yea omit it
Thank you! This recipe turned out great. I will definitely be making it again!
Awesome
Hi Richa,
Can I omit the tbsp of coconut oil in the filling? Or should I replace it with something else?
By the way – EVERY recipe I’ve made of yours has been excellent!
Thanks!
Yea omit it. You can add abit more semi sweet chocolate
I can’t rate the recipe because I haven’t made it, but want to. My question is, if I don’t have almond milk, can I take a couple tablespoons of coconut milk from the filling ingredient and use that in the crust instead? Thanks ❤️
Yep
Hi Richa, love your recipes! Can I use all oat flour instead of some almond? Or half oat, half all purpose? Almond flour is hard to find here in Taiwan. Thanks 🙂
yes you can use all purpose & oat flour & omit the almond. You might need a tbsp more or less depending on the flour and its absorption.
Holy mother of all that’s holy, well or not. Whatever. We just had this pie along with some pumpkin pie and everyone had two pieces! Even my husband who turned his nose up at me last night as I was making it and making snide remarks.
I took one bite and just wanted to bury my whole face in that pie. I could have just gone straight to heaven – sated.
Doing my happy dance and grateful for your genius.
Happy Thanksgiving Richa.
Yay!!
