There’s something magical about the combination of crunchy graham crackers and creamy fillings. This vegan graham cracker pie is a delightful dessert that proves indulgence can be simple and plant-based. I remember the first time I shared this pie with my friends, who were initially skeptical about vegan desserts. Their eyes lit up with every bite, and before I knew it, the pie was gone!

Here’s how to recreate this fabulous dessert at home with minimal ingredients that maximize flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
  • Chopped nuts or coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). You’ll want the crust to be perfectly crisp.

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Make sure it’s compact to hold together during baking.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, just until it’s golden and fragrant. Let it cool completely while you prepare the filling.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. You can use an electric mixer for a fluffier texture if you prefer.

Pour the creamy filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. The longer it chills, the better it will slice!

Once set, garnish with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.

Slice, serve, and watch the smiles spread across your friends’ faces as they savor each bite of this luscious vegan graham cracker pie. It’s a dessert that brings everyone together, regardless of their dietary choices! Enjoy your baking adventure!
