Vegan, Gluten-Free Chocolate Pie
My favorite kind of dessert is the one that requires minimal baking. That’s really what inspired this Vegan Chocolate Pie. It’s easy to make, super rich, delicious and tastes just as good when it’s made ahead of time.
To make this pie, I’ve been using a new Culinary Coconut Milk by So Delicious that I get from Whole Foods. Whole Foods is my favorite place to grocery shop. Not only do they have every gluten-free, dairy-free product under the sun, I can spend hours walking the aisles and discovering new Laura Friendly products.
What I loved about this Culinary Coconut Milk is that it’s a full fat coconut milk in an eco-friendly, re-sealable carton (instead of a can). I love the ease of pulling this out of the cupboard and not having to hunt for my can opener!
This dessert is very simple to make and I guarantee it will be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!
