This pie is amazeballs.

No joke, it’s freaking delicious and it’s dairy free. Which means I can enjoy it without feeling like I’m going to explode after eating it. TMI? Maybe so. But my fellow lactose intolerant peeps know what I’m talking about, right?

Not only do I think this pie is totally scrumptious, the boyfriend has been enjoying it as well. It’s man approved – man approved by the man who drinks milk and eats cheese with no icky consequences.

So how the heck did I make this dairy free? Well, I was browsing peanut butter pie recipes, cause I was initially going to make a dairy free peanut butter pie but then I realized I was out of peanut butter, and I stumbled across this Skinny Frozen Peanut Butter Pie by Sally’s Baking Addiction. Instant droolification. Cause droolification is a word, right?

Anywho, I used Sally’s recipe as a guideline for my pie. Here’s what I did different: I used cookie butter instead of peanut butter. I subbed dairy milk with almond milk. I ditched the cool whip and opted for coconut whipped cream. I used vegan cream cheese instead of the Philly stuff. I made the crust with organic Newman’s Own Chocolate Alphabet Cookies and Earth Balance vegan spread.

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 2 C dairy free chocolate cookies, crushed (I used Newman's Own Organic Alphabet Cookies)
  • 2 tbsp Earth Balance vegan butter, melted

For the filling

  • 3/4 C cookie butter (I used Biscoff - it's dairy free and vegan)
  • 1 13oz can of coconut milk, refrigerated so the solids and liquids separate.
  • 8oz of vegan cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 C vegan cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 C granulated sugar
  • 1/2 C silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tbsp confectioners sugar

For the chocolate Sauce

  • 1/2 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 C semi sweet chocolate, chopped (plus more if your sauce doesn't get thick enough)

Instructions

  1. Combine the crushed cookies and the Earth Balance. Mix until the cookies are moist. Press into a 10" tart pan and place in the freezer until ready to use.
  2. Beat together the sugar, vegan cream cheese, cookie butter and almond milk. In another bowl, beat together the solids from the coconut milk, the confectioners sugar and the remaining 1/4 C of vegan cream cheese. Fold into the cookie butter mixture.
  3. Remove the pie crust from the freezer and pour the cookie butter mixture into the crust. Carefully smooth with a rubber spatula.
  4. Place in the freezer and freeze for 2-4 hours.
  5. Meanwhile, make the chocolate sauce. Using the double boiler method, melt the chocolate over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining almond milk. Add more chocolate if your sauce isn't thick enough and whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to slightly cool. Drizzle over the finished pie.
  6. To serve the pie, allow to sit out for a few minutes to soften. Or enjoy it like an ice cream pie - eat it right out of the freezer!
  7. Store any leftover pie in the freezer.

  1. That looks so good! Perfection in a pie. Pinning! :)
    Have a beautiful Monday Julie!

  2. No. Please don’t do this to me.

    This looks BEYOND delicious. I’m seriously considering ditching the diet and taking a cheat day especially for this. Cookie butter alone is delicious, so I can’t even imagine how amazing it is in this pie. I need!

  3. How delectable does THIS look, Julie?? Wowza. Pinned!!

  4. Sounds delicious Julie! Love all those substitutions – genius!

    • Thanks, Lindsay! Now I’m gonna have to do this with the peanut butter to make a peanut butter pie. Cause my pantry is definitely stocked with it now. I can’t believe I let myself run out of PB in the first place. But yay for cookie butter pies instead!

  5. Uhhh….Y-U-M!!!!! This seriously looks amazing Julie!! I think I would devour this in one sitting!!

  6. Looks fantastic! I have a neighbor who is dairy free and I struggled baking dessert last time she was here for dinner. Now I know what to make for our next get together, thanks!

    • This is perfect for dairy and non-dairy eating folks, Holly! In fact, my boyfriend has been chowing down on it and he is definitely a dairy eater! I eat small amounts but am really trying to cut out the stuff with a lot of lactose cause the lactaid pills are sketchy on when they will and won’t work. Thank you so much for stopping by. I think you friend will enjoy this pie! :)

  7. WoW!! This sounds amazing!! I know my man will love this…dairy or not!! Love the drizzle actions you have going on here.

    • Thank you, Zainab! Ha, Ken has been eating most of this pie. It is very rich – as cookie butter is pretty darn rich, IMHO. I love it but can only eat a small amount. Luckily Ken loves this – and he even knows it’s dairy free! Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

  8. Julie your pie looks amazing, no one would ever guess it’s dairy free just by looking at it, I love that gorgeous chocolate drizzle on top!

  9. I bet it is! I’m in LOVE!! This pie would be gone in a flash at my house! Pinned!

  10. I was just recently introduced to cookie butter, and can’t wait to have new recipes to justify buying so much! Thanks for giving me another reason to buy some! I’m glad I found your post through Time to Sparkle link party.

  11. This pie is gorgeous Julie!!!!

  12. You had me at no bake cookie butter!

  13. Is it bad that I’ve been dreaming about this pie since I saw you post it on Instagram? The creaminess of the cookie butter sounds incredible. Pass me a slice, please! Pinned!

    • Nope, not bad at all, Ashley! heh, we still have some at the house cause I’ve been keeping it in the freezer. I just happened to enjoy a slice last night after dinner. :)

  14. Hi Julie! I’m Australian and just wondering… what is cookie butter…?! This pie sounds delicious, anyway! :)

    • Hi Lou! Cookie butter is one of the most amazing things ever. Ground up cookies mixed with a little oil to make it creamy like peanut butter. The type I use uses the Biscoff cookies, which are vegan so if you can’t have dairy or don’t eat animal products, it’s perfect. And if you do eat all of that stuff, it’s still perfect cause it’s so darn good! :)

  15. yeah… that does look good. So good my mouth is watering for a bite.

  16. Droolification is most definitely a word(even though my spell check tried to change it! Haha!) and this pie totally caused some droolification from me!! ;) Love it!

  17. Oh my gosh, this pie looks stunning Julie! No bake, cookie butter and dairy free? Sign me up – it looks so creamy and I can’t get over the gorgeous chocolate drizzle – pinning to drool some more:)

  18. I love Biscoff, so I know this will be delicious!
