The recipe for this Chocolate Pudding Pie is plant-based (no eggs, dairy-free), nut-free. It is made without any oil and can be gluten-free. It is also simple and easy to prepare, perfect for any occasion.

How to make No Bake Chocolate Pudding Pie?

This Chocolate Pudding Pie is really easy to make with only a few ingredients in 6 simple steps.

Step 1: Soak the dates in the warm water for 10 mins. Then, put them in a food processor (with the soaking water) and pulse until finely chopped. You should have something like dates puree.

Step 2: In a bowl combine the dry ingredients (oats, cocoa powder, and shredded coconut). Add the dates puree and stir everything well. Leave it aside for 5-10 mins for the oats to soften a bit. (If the crust mixture seems too dry, you can add one or two tablespoons of water as needed.)

Step 3: Line an 8 inch (20 cm) round cake pan with removable bottom with parchment paper. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan and up the sides around 1 inch (2,5 cm) high. Do it with your fingers or the bottom of a spoon. Set aside.

Step 4: In a bowl combine the cornstarch and cocoa powder. Whisk a half cup of soy milk together with this mixture. Set aside.

Step 5: Heat the remaining one and a half cup of soy milk in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar and dairy-free chocolate chips until sugar dissolves and chocolate melts. When it starts to boil, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2-3 mins until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour into the prepared crust.

Step 6: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.

  1. What if I can’t stand the taste of coconut? Any substitutions? What about cornstarch if allergic?

    Reply
    • Hi Heidi,
      you can substitute any ground nuts for the coconut in the crust, or simply omit it if you prefer. About the cornstarch you can also use tapioca or arrowroot powder instead.
      Hope this is helpful!
