Ingredients
Baked and cooled pie crust
1/4 cup almond milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk alternative)
1/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot
1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup dairy-free chocolate Chips
Instructions
Mix the almond milk and cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Mix until the custard thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolates melt.
The custard should be silky and smooth. If it isn’t, add the pudding to a blender and blend on high for 5-10 seconds.
Pour the warm pudding mix into the cooled pie shell and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or until the custard is set and solid.
Once the filling has set, top the pie with whipped cream and your favorite toppings and serve. Leftover pie can be refrigerated for up to five days.
