The pie you’re peeping at shouldn’t be the primary, not the second, however in reality the THIRD cookies and cream pie I made final week. Let me clarify.
The primary model I caught with custom – Oreo cookie crust, Oreo crumbles folded into the filling. The second model I needed to check out a cookie free crust choice for you, however I nonetheless used cookies within the filling and the crust simply wasn’t fairly as cookie-ish as I needed. (Pause. Regroup. Decide a pie lane.) For the third model, I made a decision to lean into unconventional, hasn’t-already-been-done-on-the-internet territory, and drop the cookies utterly. Although I do know Oreos are vegan (and could be gluten-free), I KNOW you’ve seen a dairy-free Oreo pie recipe earlier than. So it’s not that we don’t love Oreos, it’s not that Oreo pie isn’t scrumptious, it’s can we make a Cookies and Cream Pie with out them…
Oreo Pie…However With out Oreos?
We are able to! That’s the quick reply. We are able to make a wealthy, fluffy, intensely cookie-vibes pie with out a single sandwich cookie. The 2 key cookie copycat elements you want are cereal and Chocolate SunButter. However let’s get into the entire ingredient lineup.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Crumb Crust Substances
- Crispy rice cereal. I haven’t examined with other forms of cereal, however I like the lightness of crispy rice cereal. You possibly can attempt a flake or a sq. and even granola, however toasted brown rice is my go-to. A chocolate selection will add much more taste.
- Darkish cocoa powder. Okay okay this can be a little particular, however in order for you the deep darkish Oreo-chocolate coloration darkish cocoa is vital. Common cocoa powder will style completely positive, that is extra of an aesthetic resolution.
- Chocolate SunButter. You understand the creamy, chocolatey, frosting-rich jar of magic I’ve raved about many occasions earlier than. Yeah, you want it right here. It provides a lot taste, and takes the place of coconut oil or butter in a typical Oreo crust.
- Maple syrup. Or agave or your favourite liquid sweetener.
- Pinch of salt.
Dairy-Free Cream Filling Substances
- Dairy-free cream cheese. The luxurious texture, the refined tang, the right thick-when-chilled texture makes this the perfect no-bake filling base. And tastes a lot better than a cashew primarily based filling in my view.
- Coconut cream. An excessive amount of cream cheese could be properly…an excessive amount of. So for the remainder of the creamy part we’re utilizing coconut cream from a calming can of full fats coconut milk. You possibly can additionally attempt dairy-free yogurt, however ensure it’s a thick one not watery.
- Chocolate SunButter. Yeah that’s proper, we’re doubling up on these items. Belief me, a refined contact of chocolate taste within the CREAM a part of the cookies and cream is an improve you have to expertise.
- Powdered sugar. I do know it’s not essentially the most pure of sweeteners, however it’s the greatest sweetener for preserving the thickness of this no-bake filling. You possibly can attempt granulated sugar as a substitute, however I can’t assure your pie will set correctly.
- Vanilla extract.
Ideas For The Excellent Vegan Cookies and Cream Pie
- Grind the cereal VERY positive earlier than including the remainder of the crust elements. An Oreo crust has a really positive grain to it, so to imitate that you simply don’t need any large chunks.
- Save one cup of crust crumbs for the filling and topping (and even make further in order for you plenty of COOKIE in your cookies and cream!)
- Refrigerate in a single day to ensure the filling is totally set earlier than slicing. I prefer it served proper out of the fridge, as chilly and thick as doable. You may even freeze this recipe for a extra ice cream pie expertise.
- High with coconut whipped cream, drizzles of melted chocolate or Chocolate SunButter, chocolate chips, extra “cookie” crumbs, something chocolately your coronary heart needs!
