IMG_4552This was my offering for British Pie Week – a luxurious, silky chocolate and cream indulgence that was wolfed down in our household! You might think the silken tofu in the filling and the whipped soya cream on top would give an unmistakable soya tang to the whole pudding. Well, you’d be wrong – the results are creamy, rich and chocolatey without being ‘too much’ and are sure to please any palate. Go on, you know you want to!

Chocolate Cream Pie (dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, sesame-free, vegetarian and vegan) N.B. contains soya

    1. It’s soo easy and totally delicious. What do you need to avoid? We could probably make some alterations – although the soya would be hard!

  1. The pie looks heavenly! Love all the whipped cream on top!… I’ve never tried the boxed Soyatoo. Do you find the texture light and airy like the canister type, or more dense like home-whipped, dairy, whipped cream?

  2. Now, this is a very winning vegan chocolate pie! I must make this tomorrow! It looks fabulous! I think this will be my birthday pie in April!! ooh yes! xxx

  3. Made the pie today after finding American substitutes for some of the ingredients. Husband really liked it! Can you share the calorie/energy count for a serving (1/8 th) size? Thanks for sharing your creativity.

    1. So pleased you tried it and enjoyed it. I’m afraid I have no idea about working out calorie content……if you find out do let me know as I’d be interested in the results 🙂
