A Pie For Molly + Eggboy: Vegan Chocolate Ganache Pie Recipe

By Lyndsay // Coco Cake Land

Jump to RecipePrint Recipe

Molly YEH! Like a big old YAY. This woman. She brightens the internet like a half Chinese half Jewish, percussion-playing gorgeous firecracker blasting through the milky way, and she’s getting married to an EGG. A handsome, beet-farmer, musician-with-shaggy-hair EGG. So, to celebrate this wonderful union (ok, he has a name – Nick!) I made the couple this virtual vegan chocolate ganache pie studded like an 1980s punker jacket with fresh raspberries.

If I wasn’t already in internet-friend-love with Molly, this lefse New York Times video made me fall deeper into internet-friend-love. Can a young lady be any cuter, more appealing, more charming than Molly? Can her fiancée get any more hunky? Can life get any more stressful than when Molly tries to lift up that mega-sized lefse in front of her future in-laws and a camera crew?? Side note: I am obsessed with squishing/squeezing/making Play-dough-hair and “ricing” things through a “ricer”, officially the most Oriental sounding kitchen tool ever. (oh wait, there’s a Chinois- that’s the most Oriental sounding kitchen tool ever).

This pie is so easy you can practically be sleeping or washing your hair while making it. It’s got a delightfully simple coconut oil and cookie crumb crust, and a chocolate ganache filling made with coconut milk and finished with fresh berries. That’s IT. You can even gluten-free-it-up by using gluten-free cookies.

Vegan Chocolate Ganache Pie with Raspberries

By: Lyndsay // Coco Cake Land
Makes: 12 slices

ingredients

For the crust

  • 5 tablespoons of good quality coconut oil, melted
  • 2 cups of Anna’s ginger thins, crushed

For the ganache

  • 1½ cups of full fat coconut milk
  • 10 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (roughly 2 cups)
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries

instructions

Make the crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil.
  • In a food processor or using a rolling pin and a tightly sealed plastic Ziploc bag, blend or crush the cookies into crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and cookie crumbs until the mixture resembles a wet sand.
  • Press the mixture into a pie pan.
  • Bake for ten minutes; let cool completely before filling. Note: the crust might “puff up” a bit in the oven; when you remove it, simply press back into place, being careful not to burn yourself!

Make the ganache

  • While the crust is baking, heat the coconut milk in a medium saucepan until it reaches a low boil – medium heat. Watch that it doesn’t burn.
  • Remove the coconut milk from the stovetop; carefully pour in the chopped chocolate, making sure the chocolate is covered by the milk.
  • Let sit for ten minutes, then slowly whisk to combine.
  • Power-chill the ganache in the freezer for 30 minutes to help it thicken.
  • Once the ganache is cooled and thickened, pour into the pie shell. Chill for 4-6 hours in the fridge to help it firm up, or overnight.
  • Before serving, place fresh raspberries on top of the chocolate ganache, dust with a touch of icing sugar (optional!) and serve!
