Why you'll love this recipe

This recipe is quick and easy.

The chocolate chip portion of this vegan chocolate chip pie comes together just like chocolate chip cookies do.

I know some people are generally intimated about pie crusts, but I have a super easy, foolproof crust recipe.

It tastes similar to a deep dish cookie pie but is actually a giant gooey chocolate chip cookie pie with the pie crust.

This makes a great dessert for dinner parties, holidays, a special occasion, or when you want a tasty pie.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Uncooked pie crust- If you don't want to make your own, feel free to buy a premade one.

Flax eggs- these are super easy to make. You combine 2 TB flax meal with 4 TB water. It's best to use golden flax as these blend right in.

Vanilla extract- this is a must for that classic chocolate chip cookie flavor.

White sugar and Brown sugar- the combination of the sugars works best here.

All purpose flour- I've never used anything but all-purpose flour in this. I would be worried about making this gluten-free only because of the fat-to-flour ratio. But you can certainly try it with a good quality gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Vegan butter soft- You can use whichever your favorite vegan butter is. I like to use Country Crock vegan butter.

Vegan chocolate chips- there are a lot of delicious brands out there. Enjoy Life brand makes the best dairy-free chocolate chips around.

Nuts optional- If you love nuts in your chocolate chip cookies, feel free to add them chopped up. Pecans or walnuts would work great.

How do you make it vegan chocolate chip pie?

A small white bowl with water and two melting ice cubes in it on a marble background.

Step 1- First, you'll make the pie crust. Get a bowl of ice water ready and set aside.

Step 2- Take a medium bowl and mix your flour, salt, and sugar together until combined.

Step 3- Add your oil and 4 TB ice water and pour it into your flour mixture *this will look messy and like it won't come together* Mix with a wooden spoon until it's combined and a dough ball.

Step 4- It shouldn't be overly sticky. I like to roll mine out on a Silpat with a thing of plastic wrap on top to prevent any sticking.

Step 5- When rolling, add even pressure so you don't end up with thin spots. Roll it out to about 2 inches bigger than your pie pan. Carefully place the dough in your pie dish and cut the remaining dough hanging over it. Place the uncooked pie crust in the fridge until you're ready for it.

Step 6- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Now let's make the cookie dough filling; get a large bowl or your kitchen aid mixer bowl and cream the vegan butter and sugar, then add everything but the flour. You give those a good mix and then mix in the flour. Stir the vegan chocolate chips in at the end.

Step 7- Take this pie filling dough and spread it on top of the pie crust. This mixture is a little on the thicker side, so spread it with your spatula to make it nice and even.

Step 8- Bake in the oven for 45- 60 minutes.

Step 9- You don't want to check it right in the center; you want to check it just outside of it for a clean toothpick. This pie is naturally a little ooey and gooey, as stated above. It does firm up when it's out of the oven. And to be honest, even if it's a little underdone, you top that baby with vegan ice cream, and no one will care; it's too delicious. This is best after it has cooled for a while, just so it has time to set up. When you're ready to serve it- we like our slices heated up.

Expert Tips and Tricks

When it first comes out of the oven, it looks like a bit of an oily mess. Rest assured, that oil soaks back in, and it just looks like a crackled top. It can be a little challenging to tell when this chocolate chip pie is done.

For the best flavor and results, let this sit so it has time to cool for a couple hours so that it has time to set up.

This tastes best with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (vegan, of course), or you could use a scoop of non-dairy whipped cream and a drizzle of vegan chocolate sauce.
