Chocolate Pudding Pie - Gluten and Dairy Free

 We are big nerds in this house people.  Big nerds.  We definitely do our best to celebrate "Pi Day" every year.  (March 14th - you know, 3.14) 

And this year that involved a fantastic Chocolate Pudding Pie.  

Now, no matter how hard I try I can not seem to take an appetizing picture of this pie.  It has to do with lighting and my inability to take the picture during normal day light hours.  

But whatchagonnado?  #aintnobodygottimeforthat  

I am a mother of 6 kids, not a professional photographer.  I'm just glad I managed to make the pie! 

Trust me.  It's so delicious. 

Chocolate Pudding Pie - Gluten and Dairy Free 

 1 can, plus 1/4 c. of canned coconut milk (full fat) 

1/8 tsp. salt 

1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder 

1/4 c. sugar 

1/2 c. of canned coconut milk (full fat) 

3 Tbsp. arrowroot powder (can sub cornstarch) 

1/2 c. dairy free chocolate chips 

3/4 tsp. vanilla extract 

Warm the 1 can + 1/4 c. of coconut milk, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar in saucepan, whisking it together.  While that is warming, whisk the 1/2 c. of coconut milk and arrowroot powder in a small bowl until arrowroot powder is dissolved.  Add the arrowroot/milk mixture to the warm milk mixture and bring to a boil.  

Stir with a spatula, just until thick then remove from heat.  

Add the chocolate chips and vanilla, and stir until chocolate chips are melted.  

Put in refrigerator until cold.  Add to cooked, gluten free pie crust. 

Yum! Yum!
