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. But I loved the pudding just as much as a pie. Since going Dairy Free it took awhile to find a good Dairy Free Chocolate Pie and pudding recipe that tasted the closest to normal dairy chocolate pudding that my mom would make.
Dairy Free Chocolate Pie #Vegan #Glutenfree
I use my Blendtec Blender to make this yummy pie pudding! It’s dairy-free and gluten-free, so rich and chocolatey!
The recipe for this fabulously easy and yummy Chocolate Pie Filling follows the photos.
Chocolate Pie Recipe, Dairy-Free Gluten-Free
Graham Crust Recipe follows this recipe.
Put all the dry ingredients into the Blendtec Blender
Add the vanilla and the water. Put the lid on the Blendtec Blender and blend for 20 seconds. Then hit the whole foods icon and let it run for that cycle and it will stop when finished.
This what it will look like after you have blended all the ingredients except the non dairy milk. Add that now.
Blend on lowest speed just until milk is thoroughly blended a couple seconds.
Pour the mixture from the Blendtec Blender into a 4-quart Sauce Pan and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes on med heat.
When mixture is thick remove from heat and pour into prepared pie crust. Refrigerate until thick enough to cut. Usually overnight.
Recipe for Dairy Free Chocolate Pie:
Dairy Free Chocolate Pie #vegan #glutenfree
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.

Graham Crust Recipe:
Did you know Enjoy Life has new Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Cookies (Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free)? The whole family ate them and thought they had such a nice light graham flavor. So I experimented with the leftover cookies and made this yummy Graham Crust that you can use for any pie filling ! I am in Love! I used the Chocolate Pie Recipe above for the filling.
Graham Crust Recipe (Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free):
Blend the following in a Food Processor:
- 1 box of Enjoy Life Vanilla Honey Graham Cookies
- 1/4 cup sorghum flour
- 1/3 cup dairy free butter ( or real butter if you use dairy )
- Blend until Crumbly then remove from food processor and
- Pat the filling into a pie pan
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool
- Fill Graham Crust with Pie Filling of choice!
Enjoy!
I am lactose-intolerant, so I love dairy-free options. I am not sure if I have a problem with gluten, but I have been trying to avoid it to see if it makes a difference with how I feel. I also have family members who eat gluten-free. If this pie tastes as amazing as it looks, it would be a great recipe to make for family gatherings! Can’t wait to try it – thanks!
This looks and sounds delicious, I am not vegan but I could make this anyway!
What a fabulous recipe! I’m saving this for anytime I need a chocolate pudding or other filling as well as pie.
Wow! This sounds good! Easy recipe!
i want to make this! It looks and sounds so heavenly. I do not have a blendtec or a fancy blender so I dont know how it would turn out.
I’ve never tried anything vegan, but this looks really good! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Looking forward to trying this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow, chocolate pie is my absolutely favorite kind! This recipe sounds absolutely delicious too, I definitely can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
I love that you used almonds.
I love using almonds! But this would be just as good with cashews.
This looks delicious! I really like that this recipe is easy and who doesn’t love chocolate during the holiday season. yum!
@tisonlyme143
Thanks Dotty!
This looks very good. You did a great job on the recipe and pictures. I’m going to try to make it and see if my family likes it.
I’d love to make this, but unfortunately I don’t have a BLENDTEC blender :-/
Well you can try it with other high powered blenders. You may just need to blend it alittle longer. It is soo soo yummy!
This recipe looks absolutely mouthwatering. I am going to try making it this week.
It’s almost midnight here right now and because I saw this I’m craving chocolate haha
hahaha Dexter, but with chocolate I can crave it 24/7 🙂
Oh My Gosh this Vegan Chocolate Pie Looks Amazing & it Sounds Like it Wouldn’t Be Too Hard to Make! I Love Chocolate Though Which is Funny b/c I Used to Not Really Care for Sweets but Now I Love Them but They Say Your Taste Buds Change Every 7 Years! Thanks for Sharing All of Your Awesome Recipes, Have a Good Night! -a Jana
Oh Thanks Jana! This is really easy to make and healthy. I had never heard your taste buds change every 7 years……:)
I love that your -chocolate-pie-graham-crust-recipe has additions that (nuts) that I have never before used. And pie crusts using Graham crackers..the best..anywhere
Thanks Ronald Gagnon.

you need to sale this pie,i would buy
Thanks Arlene! I’ve been told that before 🙂 So easy to make and so so good!
Ah! Why did I have to see this now! Now I’m really hungry and craving some chocolate! 😛
Really? I need this! 😉 Nothing better than guilt free dessert!
Looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try it!!
Very tempting, thank you!
I am totally excited about your -chocolate-pie-graham-crust-recipe-gluten-free..it has additions that (nuts) that I have never before used. And too many pie crusts don’t use Graham crackers..the best..anymore
This looks delicious, I love your recipes, my daughters boyfriend has all kinds of allergies to food, and these really help, with finding something good to make when he’s visiting!
!/2 cup of cornstarch sounds like a lot but since it is the thickener, maybe not.
It looks really good. I used to have milk daily. Lately, not so much. I think I’ll try this.
Yum! That looks delicious!(:
This look really good. I love the healthy ingredients and how clean this is.
You are amazing for posting this recipe! I am back to eating healthy and I try to eliminate Dairy and watch my gluten intake. It is hard to find dessert recipes for those cheat days that don’t have those two things! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
This pie sounds so good. I love chocolate pie. I will be checking out this Blendtec blender as I am in need of a new one. Thank you for sharing
I was looking for a gluten-free brand of graham crackers for a recipe yesterday, so will have to check out the Enjoy Life brand. I’ve heard of their products and should be easy to find. This would be a safe dessert for those that seem to be allergic to everything! It looks pretty too.
This pie looks absolutely delicious. I pinned it so I can make one for the family. Thank you for the recipe.
Your welcome, it’s my fav pie recipe.
What a yummy easy to make pie that is so healthy and I have a Blendtec blender and this would be so easy for me to make. I am glad that it uses good ingredients!
I love using ingredients like nuts and different flours in cakes and pies, oh my, I must try this one, I found a gem!
Thanks Rosie! It’s absolutely my fav chocolate pie recipe!
I love how easy this recipe is. Forget the crust, I just want to eat the pudding! LOL
hahaha Barrie! Yes I love to just make the pie filling and use it as pudding 🙂
Is the coconut necessary? I’m not sure if it’s added for flavor, or thickening. I ask because I can’t eat it.
lisa, yes the coconut is added for flavor and also for thickening with it’s fiber. If you can’t eat coconut I’d just add 1/8 cup additional corn starch. You may have to play around with the thickness.
This looks so good! Mmm chocolate!
Oooh does this look amazing!! Is it weird that I hear gluten free and vegan and I feel like I can call it “healthy even if it is all chocolate lol?!?!
This pie looks super! I love cashews and using them to thicken and add yum to recipes, I would like to try this!
This sounds really yummy. I am usually worried to make this kind of recipe where the “cream” mixture is supposed to thicken. Because I won’t use dairy I am never sure if it will set properly. I love that this is already made with ingredients I will use, and I can see that it does set. Thank you.
Kelly I have never had it not set! I make many recipes vegan/dairy free using nuts as the base for sauces. They thicken so nicely. This chocolate pie filling is so yummy.
This looks great i will definitely try this pie.
This sounds so good and I love the fact that my son, who is allergic to dairy can eat it. Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome Charlene!
yum!!! i want to make this! looks easy to make(:
WHAT? This looks so super duper yummy! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

It’s a delicious dairy free pie everyone will love.
I’m going to have to give this recipe a try. The Chocolate Pie looks so delicious.
I would love this recipe. We will give it a try over the Holidays. Thank you.
I love this gluten free dessert and think it is such a good vegan recipe for me to try out. It looks easy to make and we have some allergies to dairy and this would be nice without having to worry about getting sick.
I know you will love it Karen! I make it all the time for a chocolate creme pie! It is delicious.
This sounds amazing and I have pinned for later….thank you for sharing your recipe.
Your welcome Shannon! Thanks for pinning it 🙂 When you make it let me know how you like it. This is my favorite chocolate non dairy pie recipe!

This looks delicious, I must give it a try!!!!
This pie looks delicious. I am looking forward to making this. It will be a nice addition for holiday family gatherings so everyone can enjoy a delicious dessert.

This sounds so good. I have got to give this a try. Thank you so much for sharing
This is our favorite pie recipe, do decadent and yet healthy!
Another amazing recipe that I’m going to have to try! My mouth waters when I see the pictures.
Thanks! This is my absolute fav pie recipe!
That looks so good. I will definitely attempt this recipe.
Thank you for your delicious sounding recipe. I copied it and put it with my gluten free recipes. I can’t wait to try it and the vanilla cream base for banana cream pie.
I love the crust! I bet the nuttiness is great with chocolate pudding!
Thanks for sharing.. I’m curious about the graham cracker crust! I usually just use premade ones
I wouldn’t have thought to add nuts. I’ll bet that makes it taste even better. I don’t like graham crackers. I’d probably use Nilla wafers for the crust.
This recipe looks great and I would love to try it!
This looks yummy! Sharing on twitter!
I have been making graham cakes during holidays and I guess this can really be a great alternative for a delicious and healthier dessert. 🙂
Ooh this looks so yummy, I’m so happy it’s gluten free my hubby can enjoy this & I can’t wait to make this for us. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations!! I know it’s hard to make a sugar-free, gluten-free, or fat-free etc. substitute that tastes like the real thing, so congrats you did it! The chocolate pie certainly looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Thanks for this great recipe. 🙂 I wonder if you could replace the soy milk with almond or coconut milk?
Vicky C, yes any non dairy milk would work in this recipe.
Thanks for sharing!! can’t wait to make it
