Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 3½ cups vegan graham cracker crumbs*
- ⅔ cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
- 1½ cups dairy-free dark chocolate chips, melted
- 26 ounces regular, full fat coconut milk (So Delicious Original Culinary Coconut Milk used here), divided
- ½ cup muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup (such as Lyle's) or molasses
- 2 teaspoons fleur de sel (flaked sea salt)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, coconut oil and crystallized ginger until well-combined. Press the crumb mixture into and up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden brown and slightly firm. Let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate chips and 1¼ cups (10 ounces) or the coconut milk until well-combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into your cooled crust and place into your freezer for at least 3 hours to freeze and firm.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, combine the remaining 2 cups (16 ounces) coconut milk, muscovado sugar and golden syrup or molasses and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and whisk until the mixture has thickened and reduced, about 8 minutes. (Editor's Note: It will be creamy and caramel-like, but not a true caramel). Remove from the heat.
- Remove your pie from the freezer and pour the caramel mixture atop the pie.
- Return the pie to the freezer and freeze for another 2 hours, or until the caramel has slightly cooled.
- Remove your pie from the freezer and sprinkle with the fleur de sel. Remove the bottom from the springform, slice into 8 pieces, serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Most graham crackers are dairy-free, though many contain honey. If you can't locate any strict vegan grahams, you can easily make your own or use your favorite vegan crunchy cookies.
