Ingredients
  

  • 5 1/2 ounces (165g) gluten-free pretzels
  • 1/4 cup (53g) brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) vegan butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (21g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (32g) cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1/2 cup (100g) organic cane sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 13.5 ounces (398ml) canned (not boxed) coconut milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2/3 cup (113g) dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Crush the gluten-free pretzels into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  • In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, brown sugar, and melted vegan butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and chill for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, cornstarch, organic cane sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  • Gradually whisk in canned coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in dairy-free chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Pour into the chilled pretzel crust.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it onto the pudding surface. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.

Notes

- Make ahead: This pie needs at least 4 hours to chill, but it’s even better when made the day before, allowing the flavors to meld and the pudding to fully set.
- For a smoother pudding: Ensure you whisk constantly while the pudding cooks to prevent lumps and scorching. I once neglected to stir enough and ended up with a slightly lumpy texture, which was a lesson learned!
- Storage: Store any leftover chocolate pretzel pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The crust might soften slightly over time, but the flavor remains delicious.
