Vegan Chocolate Pie with Strawberries

  in Desserts, Recipes, Vegan

Crust

25 Jovial Crispy Cocoa cookies, finely ground (about 1 1/2 cups)
5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Filling

1 cup full-fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons cane sugar or coconut sugar
pinch sea salt
10 oz Enjoy Life vegan mini chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled, sliced

  1. Heat oven to 350ºF. Break up the cookies into small pieces and then pulse the pieces in a food processor until you have 1 1/2 cups. (Remove any large chunks of cookies that didn’t pulverize.) Add the crumbs back into the processor bowl along with the melted coconut oil, sugar, and salt and pulse until combined. 
  2. Firmly press the cookie crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake until crust is fragrant, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Place a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat and add the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until coconut milk is hot and sugar dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla.
  5. Pour chocolate ganache into cooled cookie crust. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, 1 – 2 hours. Arrange sliced strawberries over the top of the chocolate.
