Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free chocolate cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Chocolate Filling
- 2 cups coconut cream
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for setting the crust properly before assembling the layers.
- Prepare Crust Mixture: Combine the crushed gluten-free chocolate cookies with the melted coconut oil in a bowl until the mixture is evenly coated and sticky.
- Form the Crust: Press the cookie and coconut oil mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking dish, ensuring an even, compact layer.
- Mix Chocolate Filling: In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the coconut cream, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and homogeneous.
- First Chocolate Layer: Spread half of the chocolate filling mixture evenly over the cookie crust, ensuring complete coverage.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the dairy-free chocolate chips evenly over the first chocolate layer to add texture and extra chocolate flavor.
- Top with Remaining Filling: Spread the remaining chocolate mixture over the chocolate chips layer carefully to maintain the layered structure.
- Chill: Place the assembled dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the creamiest texture.
- Make sure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to avoid melting the cookie crust.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when slicing.
- Chilling time can be extended overnight for better set and flavor development.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to maintain the vegan status of the dish.
