Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Non-dairy chocolate chips
- 1 can Full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch pie crust Vegan graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Chill the full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
Open the chilled can of coconut milk carefully. Scoop out the solid cream into a mixing bowl and discard the liquid or save it for another recipe.
In a small microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the non-dairy chocolate chips until smooth. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly for 3–5 minutes.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, whip the coconut cream until fluffy and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped coconut cream. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until evenly combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture too much.
Pour the chocolate mousse filling into the vegan graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until the mousse is firm and set.
Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your non-dairy chocolate mousse pie!
