    Healthier Chocolate Pudding Pie

    Healthy Chocolate Pudding Pie. My refined sugar free chocolate pudding pie recipe is made with unrefined coconut sugar, cacao powder, plant milk, vanilla and sea salt!

    My Healthy Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe is:

    • Easy to make!
    • No Bake
    • Refined Sugar Free
    • Gluten Free
    • Dairy Free
    • Vegan

    I created this healthier chocolate pudding pie a few days before Thanksgiving this year. I wanted to take a treat, but I wanted it to have a healthier twist! The stresses of being a dietitian coming to dinner LOL.

    HEALTHY CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE INGREDIENTS

    • Coconut milk in place of cream. While the can of coconut milk does contain a good amount of fat, it is in the form of medium chain triglycerides and natural saturated fats from the coconut plant. Yes, this can be unhealthy in excess.
    • Almond milk in place of whole milk. Almond milk doesn’t have any saturated fat when compared to the cream or whole milk most home made pudding recipes call for.
    • Cacao powder instead of processed cocoa. I ground up raw cacao nibs for the cacao powder with my blender. You can use already ground cacao powder in place of this. Really if I’m being honest the only reason I ground them up was because I didn’t want to go out in the snow storm to the grocery store LOL.
    • Coconut sugar in place of table sugar. I wouldn’t exactly call it a health food. But, it has shown to have a lower glycemic index than table sugar. Coconut sugar is also less refined and processed than conventional sugar, which is not only processed but also bleached!

    TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST HEALTHY CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE EVER

    • BAKE CRUST FIRST. Make sure to bake your pie crust ahead of time and let it cool, so you can fill your shell and chill your pudding pie faster!
    • WHISK PUDDING CONSTANTLY UNTIL IT IS THICK. You will want to use a metal whisk to stir the mixture with. This makes sure there are no chunks in the pudding.
    • ADD EXTRA DARK CHOCOLATE TO YOUR PUDDING. Add an extra ounce of dark chocolate to the filling to make it super chocolatey double chocolate pudding pie.
    • REFRIGERATE 2 HOURS- OVERNIGHT TO SET CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE. It is best to refrigerate your pie overnight so that it has time to set completely.

    HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHIER CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE FOR THANKSGIVING

    Step 1: make the healthier chocolate pudding pie filling

    To make the filling, add all the ingredients to a medium sized sauce pan: 13oz can full fat coconut milk, 1 ½ cup almond milk, ¼ cup raw cacao powder, ¼ cup corn starch, ⅓ cup coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt.

    Sometimes I add an extra ounce of dark chocolate to the filling to make it super chocolatey double chocolate pudding pie. 🙂

    Stirring constantly, cook your pudding over medium heat until it is thick and bubbly.

    Step 2: pour into your prepared crust and chill

    Pour your thick and creamy healthy chocolate pudding into your prepared pie crust.

    Three of my favorite healthy pie crusts to use for my pudding pie:

    1. Healthier Pie Crust
    2. Almond Flour Pie Crust
    3. Gluten Free Pie Crust

    Cover your pie loosely with parchment or wax paper, and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. It is best to refrigerate your pie overnight so that it has time to set completely.

    If you try to cut it before two hours, it probably will not have properly formed and you will be eating it with a spoon! I have to say though, I was so eager to eat my pie and have done this before lol.

    This pie is best eaten in the first two days after making it!

    Top it with some homemade coconut whipped cream.

      Hi, I'm Rosemary the dietitian of The Hint of Rosemary! I created the Hint of Rosemary in 2015 because I wanted to share my healthy and tasty treats! Since then I've expanded into more than just smoothie bowls, but the concept is the same: treats that you can feel good about! My healthy treats are made with good for you ingredients, and most are vegan, dairy free and gluten free friendly. I share 90% healthy treats and 10% indulgences because I'm an advocate for mindful eating, which is about not depriving yourself of the food you love!
