Vegan French Silk Pie (Dairy-Free & Soy-Free!)
This Vegan French Silk Pie uses full-fat canned coconut milk and agar agar flakes to create a dairy-free, soy-free chocolate filling with a rich, smooth texture. The filling is combined with unsweetened baking chocolate, coconut sugar, and vanilla, then poured over a pre-baked pie crust and chilled until set. The pie is finished with coconut whipped cream and optional dark chocolate shavings, creating a chilled dessert that balances creamy coconut flavors with a firm yet silky chocolate layer.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust see post for recipes, 9-inch, baked
- 1 coconut milk 400 ml, full-fat, canned (13.5 oz
- 1 to 2 teaspoons agar agar see notes, flakes
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar (112 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (3 grams)
- 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate , roughly chopped (43 grams)
- 1 batch Coconut whipped cream
- dark chocolate for garnish (optional, shavings
Instructions
- Bake the pie crust, if you haven't already. You'll want it to be relatively cool when you pour in the pie filling.
- In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, 1 teaspoon of agar flakes (use 2 teaspoons if you want it to have a firmer texture), coconut sugar, and vanilla. Bring it to a boil, and whisk well to help the agar flakes dissolve. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute, stirring often.
- Turn off the heat, and stir the baking chocolate into the liquid. Stir until it's melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate into the baked pie crust, then place it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
- When the filling feels firm to a light touch, you can top it with coconut whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Slice and serve chilled. Leftover pie can be stored lightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk to ensure the filling sets correctly; light versions may not work.
- If using agar powder instead of flakes, use about half the amount stated for proper gel formation.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- Allow filling to chill at least four hours to achieve the desired firm but silky texture.
