This VeganChocolate Pudding Pie is not only rich and silky but it is completely allergy friendly! The pre made pie crust is gluten free, nut free, egg free, dairy free, and vegan. This pie, that takes less than 30 minutes to whip up (minus the chill time), is a delicious quick and safe dessert that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth!
Bake your frozen pie crust according to the package and then let cool as you make the pudding.
In a small bowl, using a spoon, combine the cornstarch and the 3 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. It will be thick and tacky at first. Set aside.
Boil 2 cups of water (you can do this in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup as well)
Over low heat on the stovetop, place the cocoa powder in a pan and pour in the boiling hot water. Whisk to combine.
Add the sugar and the chocolate chips, continue whisking to combine.
Whisk the cornstarch water mixture into the pan with the chocolate water mixture. Continue whisking. Add the salt and bring to a boil, whisking the entire time. You should see it thickening. If not, increase your heat slightly but be careful not to burn. Let it boil for about a minute, whisking the entire time.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and butter or vegan baking stick.
Using a spatula, pour the warm pudding into the cooked pie crust. Let cool on the counter before refrigerating.
Once cool, pop in the fridge uncovered until pie is cold. Once cold, lightly place a piece of aluminum foil on top.If you do this part too soon and the pie isn't cold enough, there will be a wet layer on top of the pudding.
Let solidify in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight before serving. Store left overs in the fridge for up to 2 days. Enjoy!

Notes
Storing: Let the pie sit on the counter until almost room temperature then transfer to the fridge uncovered and let become cold. Once the pie is cold, lightly cover the top of the pie with aluminum foil and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. I do NOT recommend freezing this pie. The pudding will get very wet as it defrosts.Nutrition: The info below is a generated estimate and is not guaranteed to be accurate.
