Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Pie – everyone’s favorite classic combination, hugged by a flaky light crust – a decadent truffle gone pie shaped. A quick and easy recipe with a short ingredient list – make this to celebrate Pi Day!

Today we celebrate 3.14159265…

uh, Pi Day.

Pie Day.

Longtime readers know, I celebrate Pi Day every year.

First – I used to be an accountant and I love numbers – shocking third grade me who loathed math!

Second – pie. and actually, pie might be first.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Pie is a recipe I first made several years back. We enjoyed this at a holiday party, and I never even took photos.

This pie is really like a truffle – so decadent and rich – that a small sliver of a slice is all you need. This time I made the recipe as is and filled two smaller pie tins – these are my six inch pie tins:

The small triangles of pie are cute as heck.

yield: one 9 inch pie

dairy, egg, soy, and gluten free, vegan

INGREDIENTS:

8 ounces dark chocolate (70-72%)
1 cup full fat coconut milk (canned)*
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 easy gluten free pie crust

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

*Without shaking, open can of coconut milk, spoon out 1 cup of the thick portion at top of can for this recipe. I save the remainder for smoothies, unless another recipe gets to it first.

Prepare pie crust. Roll out crust and carefully transfer to pie pan. Cut decorative crust pieces with scraps. Set scraps onto a prepared (parchment lined) baking sheet.

Bake decorative crust pieces at 350 °F for 12-15 minutes. Bake pie crust at 350 °F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool.

Chop chocolate.

In saucepan, bring coconut milk to a boil, reduce to simmer and stir continually for several minutes.

Remove coconut milk from heat.

Add chopped chocolate and peanut butter, whisk until smooth.

Remove chocolate mixture from heat, cool slightly.

Pour into pie crust, set aside to cool slightly. Once the filling begins to thicken, top with any cooked crust pieces.

Transfer to refrigerator to set (at least 1 hour).

    Hey Kristina,

    I drooled over this pie before, but didn’t comment. 🙁 I love the simplicity of it and just shared on All Gluten-Free Desserts. 🙂 I did have a question on the recipe. You state that 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk is called for and then you indicate that 1/2 cup of the coconut cream off the top is used. So is it 1/2 cup of that coconut cream and another 1/2 cup coconut milk for a total of 1 cup of the two combined?

    Thanks!
    Shirley
