VEGAN NO BAKE CHOCOLATE PIE INGREDIENTS:

Below are notes about the main ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make these dairy free chocolate pie:

silken tofu and raw cashews – We are using the combination of these two ingredients because they are light in flavor while helping the recipe thicken up without additional ingredients like flours or starches being added
dairy free milk – to add smoothness and liquid to the recipe
vegan chocolate chips – you can use dairy free chocolate chips or bars for this recipe
vanilla – vanilla helps bring out the flavors of other ingredients in addition to adding it’s own flavor
espresso powder (optional) – this is completely optional, but espresso powder helps bring out more of the chocolate flavor making this even better

Also for the crust, you’ll need vegan graham crackers, vegan butter, and brown sugar.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:

Crust – instead of making a graham cracker crust you could make a vegan pie crust, although you would need a little more time and baking involved in that method. Alternatively to the graham crackers, you could use any hard cookies that are vegan friendly like oreos, crunchy chocolate chip cookies, or vegan vanilla wafers. Lastly, you could use a store bought crust to make this go even faster.

*Note: in the photo is a traditional pie crust; however after shooting the photos, we thought this would be better written as a no bake recipe which is why the recipe below is for a graham cracker crust

We have not tried subbing the tofu and cashews for this recipe but if you need a dessert free of these ingredients we recommend you checking out many of our other vegan dessert recipes that do not include these ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can this be Top 8 Allergen Free No Bake Chocolate Pie?

Unfortunately no. We use both tofu and cashews in this recipe and we don’t have substitutions at this time.
Technically you could sub the cashews with another nut or nut butter if you can have them or sunflower seeds, but raw cashews have such a neutral taste that anything you sub with will change the taste.
You can use a gluten free crust if needed to be wheat free. We will create a Top 8 Free Vegan Chocolate Pie at another time.

Can I freeze the pie instead of waiting to chill to eat it faster?

Yes you can. You will be able to freeze it within 2-3 hours; however, you’ll have to let it come back to room temperature before eating. We highly recommend that you let it chill in the fridge, but it is possible to do it the other way.

Can I prep this no bake vegan chocolate pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep and store in the fridge up to 3 days ahead of time.

How long is no bake vegan pie good for?

We recommend eating this within 7 days of making it. Make sure to store it in the fridge and covered.

Do I have to have a high speed blender?

High speed blender means something like a Vitamix or Blendtec. If you don’t have this you can still make this recipe but you will need to soak your cashews first and it may take longer to combine. You could do it this way in any regular blender or even a food processor.

Do I have to soak the cashews first?

If you are using a high speed blender, there is no reason to soak the cashews first. If you are using a food processor or regular blender, then you will need to either soak your cashews overnight or you can placing them in boiling hot water for 30 minutes to soften.
*Boil the water, then remove from heat and add cashews carefully.
