My homemade Vegan Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie recipe is simple, sweet, and soo delicious. Made with simple ingredients, and infused with unsalted pecans and chocolate chips, this pecan pie will be a huge hit during holiday dinners!
I don’t know about you, but I think pecan pie is a must-have Thanksgiving dessert! This pecan pie is made with chocolate chips (technically optional but highly recommended) and it’s vegan-friendly, so everyone – no matter their allergies – can enjoy it. It’s also the slightly healthier version since it’s made with ingredients like coconut sugar and coconut milk, instead of corn syrup and eggs.
Main Ingredients Needed to Make This Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
- Prepared pie crust – I used gluten-free
- Pecans (chopped)- I used raw & unsalted pecans
- Chocolate chips – Up to you, but dark or semi-sweet would probably taste best
- Butter – dairy-free (Earth Balance is a good option)
- Coconut milk (full-fat)
- Coconut sugar – you can sub for brown sugar if you’d like
- Cornstarch
- Vanilla Extract
- Salt
Tips to Consider When Making This Vegan Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Recipe
- I personally love the pecan-chocolate chip combination, but if you want to make more of a traditional pecan pie, you can use 1 cup whole and 1 cup chopped pecans instead, and omit the chocolate chips.
- Since this recipe is vegan, that means no eggs! Cornstarch is going to help bind this pie together. Just make sure to let it cool completely before slicing so it has time to firm up.
- Want to up the sweetness even more? Serve it with your favorite dairy free vanilla ice cream!
