Ingredients
one9"gluten-free graham cracker crustbaked and cooled
1⅔cupcoconut milk (400 grams)canned and blended until smooth
1/2cupcashew butter
2tbspcocoa powder (12 grams)
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1teaspooninstant coffee powder
1/8teaspoon salt
Instructions
Start by opening the can of coconut milk and blending it in the blender or food processor until the consistency is smooth and even.
Combine coconut milk and chocolate chips in a saucepan. Heat until the chocolate chips are melted and mixed evenly with the coconut milk, stirring frequently. I like to use a whisk for this.
Let the chocolate mixture cool until it is no longer steaming. Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Add the cashew butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, instant coffee powder, and salt to the food processor as well. Blend the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Then, scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula and blend again for 15 more seconds until smooth.
Place the pie crust into a pie pan if it isn’t in a pie pan already. Make sure it's completely cool if you just baked it.
Pour the pie filling mixture into the baked and cooled graham cracker crust. You may have a little bit of extra filling. Just fill the crust until the chocolate filling reaches the top but doesn’t overflow.
Carefully move pie to the refrigerator and let chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Cut into 6 to 8 slices. Serve with favorite toppings.
