This vegan chocolate pie is pure decadent deliciousness! It is a rich, dark chocolate delight!
And it’s super easy too! Lets do this!
The crust is a made up of walnuts, dates and cocoa powder.
The filling is a super rich almond butter and chocolate ganache! Vegan chocolate melted into coconut cream with almond butter!
The almond butter gives it an extra richness and nutty flavor that matches perfectly with the date and nut crust.
And then whipped coconut cream and chocolate shavings on top make this the vegan chocolate pie of your dreams!
I recommend serving each slice with an extra dollop of whipped coconut cream on the plate, because the mildness of the cream cuts the richness of the pie just perfectly.
This is a fridge tart and needs to be kept cold. It starts to melt a little if it’s kept too long at room temperature, so fridge is best!
The texture is beautifully smooth and the taste is dark chocolate heaven!
For people who don’t love the taste of coconut, you’ll be happy to know that the overriding taste here is rich chocolate, not coconut and you can always pair it with a whipped soy cream on top if you’re not a coconut fan.
A crushed cookie crust would also work great for this, if you want some variation, or if that’s what you have on hand. I’m thinking a crushed oreo crust would be divine with this as well. If you’re keen to try that, use the crust instructions from this vegan peanut butter pie.
If you love all things chocolate, then I really think you will love this vegan chocolate pie! It is:
- Silky Smooth
- Ultra rich
- No-Bake
- 6-Ingredients
- Soooo chocolatey
- Velvety
- Super satisfying!
Keep it stored in the fridge and consume within 5-7 days. You can easily get 10 slices out of this pie, but it’s so rich, you might find yourself slicing it even thinner. It’s the best thing for those chocolate cravings!

Hi, how long does this pie take to set?
It takes a few hours, probably around 4 hours.
Do you think this would be equally delicious in a vegan pie crust shell instead of the date and chocolate one?
Thanks
Yes, definitely! 🙂
Do you think I can replace the almond butter with a coconut based vegan margarine like nuttelex instead?
Hoping to have this as my birthday cake in a couple days to share with my entirely vegan family! Who says Omnivores have more fun.
Hi Stephanie, I wouldn’t replace it with a vegan margarine no, but you could use a different nut butter or you could consider just leaving it out altogether. The nut butter is a flavor add on in this recipe, it’s not essential to it, so could be left out, without any other changes to the recipe. All the best! 🙂
Hi. I’ve just made this very yummy dessert as a thank you to my husband for taking such good care of me during a recent case of the flu? He has two great loves in this world; his family and chocolate. This recipe will certainly say THANK YOU!
I did cut the chocolate by 1 cup as I also want to eat it.
Hi Wanda, so glad the flu is over! Hope your hubby loves the pie! 🙂
He said it was restaurant worthy and he’d pay at least 10 dollars per slice. Total success. Thank you for posting.
That is seriously high praise, you clearly did a perfect job with it! So happy it was a big success! 🙂
Could there be anything to substitute the coconut cream?
You could try a different vegan cream like a soy cream, that could work well, though I haven’t tested it that way. Let us know if you try it and how it works out. 🙂
I made this for a ganache on vegan brownies so I didn’t have to miss out on dessert! SO GOOD!!! I wish that I’d made a pie because it’s so delicious. I was worried about it tasting like coconut but it really doesn’t.
Could you make this with lighter coconut milk for a slightly lighter version? I love it but it’s soooo rich that I could only manage a few bites- I want to stuff my face!
★★★★★
Hahaha, yes, it’s crazy rich that’s for sure! I’m not sure about using light coconut milk, it might work fine, my only worry is if it would set as firmly using a milk with a higher water content, it might be fine, but that would be the only concern. So glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Well if vegans and gluten intolerant people can eat this, then who’s complaining – super decadent, rich and totally delicious!
★★★★★
I know right? 🙂
This looks so rich and chocolate-y. I love that you only need a few ingredients for this recipe. I will put it on my “to make”-list 😉
Great Melanie! Think you will love it! 🙂
