chocolate pie crust

This super easy vegan peanut butter pie recipe is made with a healthy gluten-free almond oat chocolate crust but it’s as delicious as the traditional version with Oreo cookies! The creamy peanut mousse filling is naturally sweetened, and topped with a rich chocolate ganache, making this pie to the perfect simple dessert that tastes like actual snickers!

Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse Pie

almonds (*see notes for options)

gluten-free oats (or regular oats)

dates

cocoa powder (unsweetened)

tbsp coconut oil (melted)

salt

8,8 oz silken firm tofu

non-dairy cream cheese (or sub more silken firm tofu)

peanut butter

maple syrup (or other syrup/sugar to taste)

tsp vanilla extract

coconut cream (or another non-dairy whipping cream)

coconut milk (full-fat (or sub another non-dairy cream))

4,2 oz dark chocolate (chopped)

salted peanuts

Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C) and lightly grease a 10-inch deep tart/pie pan with removable base or springform pan (*see photo and note in the blog post if using another size).

Place the almonds and oats in a highspeed-blender (or food processor) and process into a coarse flour. Add the cocoa powder, soft dates, liquid coconut oil and a pinch of salt and process until the mixture sticks together. (If it seems too dry, add a little bit of water or non-dairy milk).

Transfer the crumbly sticky dough into a lightly greased pie pan. Press it down firmly and up the sides to create an even pie shell. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes (or just place in the fridge for a no-bake option*). Then let it cool completely.

Chocolate Crust (*see step-by-step photos above)

Add the firm silken tofu, non-dairy cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender (or food processor) and blend until smooth and creamy. Then set aside.

In a pre-cooled mixing bowl, whip up the coconut cream until fluffy and stiff peaks form. Then gently fold it into the peanut butter cream mixture until just combined. Spread the mousse onto the prepared pie crust, smoothing out evenly. Place in the fridge overnight to set. (If you can’t wait that long, simply place the pie in the freezer for 1 hour or until set).

Peanut Butter Mousse

Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the non-dairy cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to boil. Then pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt. Then stir with a whisk until the ganache is smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter pie, smoothing out evenly. Decorate with crunchy salted peanuts as desired and chill until set.

When ready to serve, slice and enjoy!

Chocolate Pie Pastry

(120) all-purpose flour

(28 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder

(56 grams) powdered sugar

(113 grams) unsalted butter, cold

Add the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar and salt to the bowl of a food processor.

With the motor running pour in the egg and let process until the dough forms together into a cohesive ball.

Scrape the dough from the bowl and place in a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk and wrap tightly.

Using a rolling pin roll the dough out until it stretches to the corner of the plastic wrap to ensure a tight seal.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
