Ingredients
 
 

For the pudding layer:

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup refrigerated coconut milk I used SO Delicious brand original coconut milk
  • cup PASCHA 55% Semi-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 ⅔ cups refrigerated coconut milk
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 3 Tablespoons refrigerated coconut milk

For the crust:

  • 1 cup gluten free flour
  • ½ cup vegan buttery spread
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons sugar
  • teaspoon salt

For the cream cheese layer:

  • cup Daiya brand plain cream cheese alternative
  • cup SO Delicious Coco Whip Original
  • cup powdered sugar

For the top layer:

  • the remainder of the container of SO Delicious Coco Whip Original
  • ¼ of a bar of PASCHA 70% Cacao Organic Dark Chocolate shaved

Instructions
 

Make the pudding:

  • In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and ¾ cup coconut milk. Stir over medium heat until it just barely starts to simmer. Add the PASCHA chocolate chips and stir until melted.
  • In a small container with a lid, combine the arrowroot powder and the 3 Tablespoons of coconut milk. Shake well to remove any lumps and set aside.
  • Add the 2 ½ cups coconut milk and raise the heat slightly. Stir constantly until the mixture just starts to boil.
  • Drizzle the arrowroot mixture into the pudding while stirring constantly. Continue to cook over medium low heat until the pudding is fairly thick. Transfer pudding to a bowl and let it cool down a bit .
  • Cover the pudding with plastic wrap (pudding will be warm but not hot). Chill pudding in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Make the crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the gluten free flour blend, vegan buttery spread, sugar, and salt. Mix together with a pastry cutter.
  • Press the crust into the bottom of a 9 inch square pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until golden, about 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • When you are ready to assemble the pie, make the cream cheese layer. In a medium bowl, combine the Daiya cream cheese alternative, the ½ cup of Coco Whip, and the powdered sugar. Mix on medium speed until smooth.
  • Use a potato peeler to make dark chocolate shavings.

Assemble the chocolate dessert pie:

  • Once the crust and the pudding are completely cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Then spread the cooled pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  • Finally, spread the remaining Coco Whip over the pudding and top with the shaved PASCHA dark chocolate.
  • Refrigerate the chocolate dessert pie for at least two hours before serving.

Notes

Store leftover pie in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 4 days.
If you aren't gluten free, feel free to use regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten free flour.
If you have a different brand of dairy free cream cheese or whipped topping that you like, go ahead and use that.
If you are not dairy free, you can use regular dairy cream cheese, milk, chocolate, and butter.
