Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free chocolate cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Chocolate Cream Layers
- 2 cups coconut cream
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for setting the crust layer.
- Prepare Crust: Combine the crushed gluten-free chocolate cookies with melted coconut oil to create a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a baking dish to form the crust.
- Mix Chocolate Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut cream, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined to form the chocolate cream layers.
- First Chocolate Layer: Spread half of the chocolate cream mixture evenly over the prepared cookie crust in the baking dish.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the dairy-free chocolate chips evenly over the first chocolate cream layer to add texture and richness.
- Second Chocolate Layer: Spread the remaining half of the chocolate cream mixture on top of the layer of chocolate chips, ensuring it covers the chips completely.
- Chill: Place the assembled dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm, to allow the layers to set perfectly for serving.
