A chocolate french silk pie so unbelievably easy to make, but tastes so rich and creamy that everyone will think it took you all day! Only 4 ingredients, this chocolate pie is egg free, dairy free, and can be made with a gluten free or paleo shell!

Christmas is a big deal around here. Not only is it CHRISTMAS, but it's also one of the only times our whole family is together.

I'm blessed to be in a family that values time together, so we do get together during the year many times, but there always seems to be someone missing. It's usually my brother in law who is in medical school many states away...

So at Christmastime, when both families are together - my parents, siblings (and their spouses and kids), my parents-in-law, brother-in-law, and my little family - I like to make sure that everyone has their favorite dishes present at the big holiday meal.

For my brother-in-law it's french silk pie. And man, does he know how to pick a dessert!

For years I've been making the traditional version with eggs, dairy, and even homemade marshmallow cream. But since we have so many allergies it's not a dessert we can really partake in...

This year I decided to make sure we could enjoy it too with a non-dairy version!

Dairy Free French Silk Pie - Creamy Chocolate Pie

The normal "dairy free" options for this type of dessert are normally all made of soy, which is also steer clear of, so I had to keep looking!

With a little experimentation I came up with this super easy, 4 ingredient recipe that knocks the socks off of the traditional version!

It's dairy free, nut free, soy free, vegan, and can even be made gluten free to! But even without all those things, this recipe is PACKED with flavor and only takes a few minutes to make!

NOTE: If you want to make this gluten free, or even paleo, simply use a pie shell that will fit your diet needs! The filling is naturally gluten free and paleo!

The texture of this chocolate pie is so fluffy and light that you'll be tempted to eat the whole thing!

Here's a video with the entire process and the recipe can be found and printed just below that! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 Cans FULL FAT Coconut Milk like this one
  • 1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips

  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

  • Using an electric mixer whip coconut solids until they reach whipped cream consistency.
  • Add honey and vanilla extract, whip again to combine.
  • Separate whipped cream equally into two bowl.

  • Add chocolate whipped cream to pie crust, spread until even.
  • Add whipped cream to top of chocolate portion and spread until even. Top with chocolate shavings, if desired.
  • Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours until firm.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!

    Hi, is there an impact to take coconut milk with guar gum or without. What is the best alternative?

    Thanks,

    Gabrie

      Hi Gabriel! The guar gum allows the milk to whip properly, without it there would be no air. You can add gelatin to the milk (without guar gum) for the same affect in theory, but I have not personally tried it, so I couldn’t give you the directions.

      We use an organic coconut milk and have not had any ill affects using the guar gum. Thanks for stopping by!

    Is there a way to substitute some other form of chocolate for the choc chips? Like if you’re trying to keep your sugar intake low but the chips made with stevia are really expensive.

      Hi Sharon! You could use our honey sweetened chocolate recipe but switch the cocoa butter for coconut oil (since it doesn’t have to be solid for the pie).

      That should work!

    This was very good and very rich. I had a hard time getting the coconut whip smooth in consistency—even after 10 minutes and trying to add some of the water from the can (maybe I used too thick of a brand). Regardless, everyone cleaned their plates. Thanks!
