No one needs an excuse to enjoy chocolate, especially when you have this decadent easy no-bake Vegan Chocolate Pie recipe! It’s allergen-friendly, quick and easy to make, and the perfect dessert for two or chocolate fix for any time of the year!
This post was sponsored by Enjoy Life Foods, but the opinions and text are fully my own.
Let’s be honest…no one really needs an excuse to indulge in some daily chocolate.
I’m definitely not shy when it comes to enjoying in a few dark chocolate chips each day; drizzling melted chocolate on your favorite ice cream, sprinkling chocolate chips on your morning pancakes or oatmeal, or simply popping a few in your mouth as you graze by your pantry.
My love for dark chocolate goes deep.
Even though chocolate is in season all year long in our house, it feels extra special this time of the year because of Valentine’s Day. And instead of simply enjoying some chocolate chips, February brings along that additional urge to indulge in a decadent chocolate dessert or treat.
So I decided to create this super easy no-bake Vegan Chocolate Pie recipe to satisfy your love of chocolate!
What Makes This The Best Chocolate Pie Recipe?
This is one of the best vegan chocolate pie recipes I’ve ever made. It’s easy to make, made for two (perfect for sharing), is no-bake, has a chocolate raspberry pairing for that perfect sweet & tart combination, and most importantly, this pie is allergen-friendly!
Easy To Make
I wanted this vegan chocolate pie to have that rich creamy deep chocolate taste. So no fancy ingredients that take over that chocolatey flavor profile.
That being said, this pie is very easy to make! No double broiler necessary, and no steam melting of chocolate. Instead, simply heat up some coconut milk, pour it over the chocolate chips, and wait for the pie filling to make itself.
The only bit of work is making the chocolate crust. You can easily buy store-bought chocolate cookie pie crust, but if you have allergies or dietary restrictions, this pie crust recipe is one of the quickest and easiest I’ve ever made.
Made For Two
I’m all about having a leftover pie to enjoy throughout the week, but sometimes for special occasions or if you’re craving chocolate yourself, you don’t want to bust out a gigantic pie. This recipe is for a mini pie that serves 4-5 people. Of course, you can easily double the recipe to make a larger size if you prefer.
No-Bake
I’m all about no-bake desserts these days. Just mix it up an place it in the fridge to set instead of baking it in the oven. So much easier, and just as rich and decadent!
Perfect Pairing
One of my favorite combinations of dessert is chocolate and fruit, specifically strawberries and raspberries. It’s something about that rich sweet dark chocolate taste combined with the tart flavor of the berries. Plus with Valentine’s Day this month, who can resist that gorgeous red berry color right?
For this dessert, since I really made it all about the chocolate, I prefer raspberries since they are generally more tart than strawberries.
Allergen-Friendly with Enjoy Life Foods
When it comes to certain holidays, people who have dietary restrictions or certain allergies can sometimes feel left out. So I came up with a decadent chocolate dessert that can easily be made allergen-friendly through the use of my favorite Enjoy Life Foods baking chocolate!
Chocolate, especially when it comes to baking chocolate, is something I’ve always been very particular about. And yes…you can call me a snob when it comes to finding the best chocolate chips around.
When I first went vegan, chocolate was the first thing that came to mind…would I find good quality vegan dark chocolate chips for all my baking needs?
That’s when Enjoy Life Foods came to the rescue with their awesome allergen-friendly products and baking chocolates. Their baking chocolate in particular are:
- certified gluten-free (great for those with Celiac)
- free from 14 common allergens
- verified non-GMO
- certified vegan and paleo-friendly.
Not only does Enjoy Life Foods have loads of awesome snacks, cookies, and bars, but they also come out with fun seasonal chocolates which are huge for our family! We truly love the Enjoy Life products!
Even though my kids are very comfortable being vegan and choosing vegan diets on their own, I’m not going to lie and say they never feel left out. Especially during holidays like Valentine’s Day when seasonal chocolate candies are everywhere.
But thanks to Enjoy Life Foods and their new allergen-friendly Valentine’s Day Chocolate Minis, there’s no need to feel left out! They even come in three different flavors:
- Dark Chocolate
- Ricemilk Chocolate
- Ricemilk Crunch
Or grab a variety pack which includes all three. My kids have been loving them in their school lunches, especially the variety pack, and they make the perfect special treat for your loved ones this month!
How To Make This Vegan Chocolate Pie Recipe – Step By Step
If you’re making your own easy pie crust, pulse the chocolate cookies with some vegan butter until they turn into fine crumbs.
Press the mixture into a pie dish and place in the freezer to set.
To make the filling, heat the coconut cream and pour over the dark chocolate chips. Cover for a few minutes until the chocolate begins to melt on its own.
Stir until you get a creamy smooth chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate filling mixture into the pie crust and place in the fridge for a few hours to set!
Top with some raspberries and drizzle on melted chocolate. Serve with some vegan whip cream for the easiest decadent chocolate dessert you’ll ever make!

I am literally drooling over this amazing pie!
It looks like the perfect chocolate pie. So delish!!!
I’m sure the dark chocolate and orange would also be a wonderful combination.

anjali
You’ll love it! And it’s very easy to make. Let me know if you try it out. Thank you!
Elle
This looks easy and delicious! I’m trying to find a great vegan chocolate pie recipe to surprise my brother on his birthday (it’s July 5th). I think this could be the winning recipe! Do you think I could substitute crumbled peanut butter cookies, instead of Oreo cookies (I love “Back to Nature” brand) ?
anjali
Hi! Yes…any crumbled cookies would work well in this recipe! Just make sure once you process, you can press it into the pie pan! Let me know if you try it out.
Liv
Hi I love this recipe and want to try it out but Im unsure as to why Oreos are used in the recipe as it is not vegan
anjali
Oreos are actually vegan! 🙂
Mim
Could you make this ahead of time and freeze it?
anjali
Yes! I haven’t tried it, but there’s nothing that would keep you from freezing it. Just be sure to leave enough time to defrost!
anonymous
Was well received by all the like (vegetarian or not) at our last dinner! anonymous
anjali
So great to hear! Thank you for the review!
Rebecca Wanovich
what did I do wrong? It never set up solid. We served it and everyone loved the taste, but it was the consistency of glue. I actually had refrigerated it for 3 days before the party I was taking it to.
Anjali Lalani
Hmm…I’m so sorry the texture of the pie didn’t turn out right! That’s odd…because if anything, the chocolate pie is extra solid, and may need time out to soften. The ingredients are quite simple. The only thing I can think of is the coconut cream? What was the brand you used? And was it pretty thick in consistency?
Paula
What coconut cream do you suggest using is the cocoa Lopez squeeze bottle type ok or is that just for mixing drinks.
Anjali Lalani
I recommend using a canned coconut cream. You want it to be thick for the pie to set. So i’m assuming the one you mentioned will not work in this recipe.
