Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 plant-based pie crust
  • Plant-based butter (for richness)

Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups toasted pecans
  • 6 oz high-quality bittersweet dark chocolate (at least 60-70% cocoa)
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 plant-based eggs
  • 1/2 cup plant-based dairy (for creaminess)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out your plant-based pie crust into your pie dish, making sure the edges are even. Chill the crust to ensure it holds its shape while baking.
  2. Toast the Pecans: Gently toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly golden, enhancing their natural flavor and crunch.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, plant-based eggs, plant-based dairy, vanilla extract, natural gelling agent, and melted dark chocolate until smooth and well blended.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Spread the toasted pecans evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust. Pour the chocolate filling gently over the nuts, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center. Allow the pie to cool completely so the filling firms up perfectly.

Notes

  • Toast pecans thoroughly to amp up flavor and prevent sogginess.
  • Use quality dark chocolate with 60-70% cocoa for a balanced bitterness.
  • Chill the crust before baking to avoid shrinking and keep it flaky.
  • Monitor baking time carefully; a slight jiggle means perfectly cooked filling.
  • Mix ingredients at room temperature to avoid clumps in the filling.
  • For serving, garnish with whipped plant-based cream, powdered cinnamon (natural), or a drizzle of maple syrup (natural).
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Rewarm slices gently in a low oven (300°F/150°C) for 10-12 minutes before serving.
