Cookies and Cream Pie

Chocolate crumb-filled cookies and cream but without oreos! We’re using a healthier hack for this vegan gluten-free pie instead…

Cookies and Cream Pie (without oreos!)

SPONSORED BY SUNBUTTER


The pie you’re peeping at is not the first, not the second, but in fact the THIRD cookies and cream pie I made last week. Let me explain.

The first version I stuck with tradition – Oreo cookie crust, Oreo crumbles folded into the filling. The second version I wanted to test out a cookie free crust option for you, but I still used cookies in the filling and the crust just wasn’t quite as cookie-ish as I wanted. (Pause. Regroup. Pick a pie lane.) For the third version, I decided to lean into unconventional, hasn’t-already-been-done-on-the-internet territory, and drop the cookies completely. Even though I know Oreos are vegan (and can be gluten-free), I KNOW you’ve seen a dairy-free Oreo pie recipe before. So it’s not that we don’t love Oreos, it’s not that Oreo pie isn’t delicious, it’s can we make a Cookies and Cream Pie without them…

Cookies and Cream Pie (without oreos!)

Oreo Pie…But Without Oreos?

We can! That’s the short answer. We can make a rich, fluffy, intensely cookie-vibes pie without a single sandwich cookie. The two key cookie copycat ingredients you need are cereal and Chocolate SunButter. But let’s get into the whole ingredient lineup.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Crumb Crust Ingredients

  • Crispy rice cereal. I haven’t tested with other kinds of cereal, but I love the lightness of crispy rice cereal. You could try a flake or a square or even granola, but toasted brown rice is my go-to. A chocolate variety will add even more flavor.
  • Dark cocoa powder. Okay okay this is a little specific, but if you want the deep dark Oreo-chocolate color dark cocoa is key. Regular cocoa powder will taste absolutely fine, this is more of an aesthetic decision.
  • Chocolate SunButter. You know the creamy, chocolatey, frosting-rich jar of magic I’ve raved about many times before. Yeah, you need it here. It adds so much flavor, and takes the place of coconut oil or butter in a typical Oreo crust.
  • Maple syrup. Or agave or your favorite liquid sweetener.
  • Pinch of salt.

Dairy-Free Cream Filling Ingredients

  • Dairy-free cream cheese. The lush texture, the subtle tang, the perfect thick-when-chilled texture makes this the best no-bake filling base. And tastes much better than a cashew based filling in my opinion.
  • Coconut cream. Too much cream cheese would be well…too much. So for the rest of the creamy component we are using coconut cream from a chilled can of full fat coconut milk. You could also try dairy-free yogurt, but make sure it’s a thick one not watery.
  • Chocolate SunButter. Yeah that’s right, we’re doubling up on this stuff. Trust me, a subtle touch of chocolate flavor in the CREAM part of the cookies and cream is an upgrade you need to experience.
  • Powdered sugar. I know it’s not the most natural of sweeteners, but it is the best sweetener for preserving the thickness of this no-bake filling. You could try granulated sugar instead, but I cannot guarantee your pie will set properly.
  • Vanilla extract.

Tips For The Perfect Vegan Cookies and Cream Pie

  1. Grind the cereal VERY fine before adding the rest of the crust ingredients. An Oreo crust has a very fine grain to it, so to mimic that you don’t want any big chunks.
  2. Save one cup of crust crumbs for the filling and topping (or even make extra if you want lots of COOKIE in your cookies and cream!)
  3. Refrigerate overnight to make sure the filling is completely set before slicing. I like it served right out of the fridge, as cold and thick as possible. You can even freeze this recipe for a more ice cream pie experience.
  4. Top with coconut whipped cream, drizzles of melted chocolate or Chocolate SunButter, chocolate chips, more “cookie” crumbs, anything chocolately your heart desires!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

-Pinch of salt

Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
