I’m on a Cream Pie hot streak!
My Four Best Cream Pie Recipes Series started with the success of the White Chocolate Berry Cream Pie recipe
And then this Double Chocolate Cream Pie ended up stealing the show!
Get ready for the ultimate in chocolate desserts!
No Bake! No Nuts! and No Mixers required!
Using your favorite sandwich cookie for the crust and a super fast stove top custard you are on your way to Chocolate Cream Pie bliss in less than 1 hour!
I am using the Wilton 4.75″ Tart Molds for these today
However you can instead make a larger 9″ Pie from this same recipe if you prefer.
I have been really lazy lately and have been using CocoWhip topping by SoDelicious
But I do have a couple recipes for Vegan Whipped Cream that you can choose from!
Not to mention if you are lucky enough to get SILK brand Heavy Whipping cream you are in for a treat!

You will notice in the recipe below for the chocolate custard I am using both cocoa powder & semi sweet chocolate.
I love the deep rich cocoa addition without the added sugar together with the silkiness of the vegan semi sweet chocolate!
You can get away with using just one or the other if you:
#1 don’t have both ingredients or #2 just don’t want them so super chocolate like I do!
If you opt for just the cocoa powder and not he chocolate addition, definitely increase it to 4Tbs and you may want to add a touch more sugar too!
I would recommend about another ¼ cup of sugar to compensate for the sugar that would have been in the chocolate

There is much debate & decision making as to whether you want to accept Oreos as being vegan, since here in the USA the sugar that Nabisco uses to make these cookies is indeed processed through animal bone char.
If you want to be sure you are 100% ethically vegan here, you can make your own Oreo Cookies using my recipe for Copy Cat Vegan Oreos!

Ohh! YAY! Good choice! You are going to LOVE IT!
I ain’t vegan…but have stopped non veg since Jan though. I do bake max recipes from ua blog with regular things and they turn out perfecttt maximum times…made this yesterday n it was delicious.
In the recipe you write granulated sugar but in the videos (Chocolate and White Chocolate cream pies) it looks like confectioners sugar. Can you clarify this?
It looks delicious I will try it. Thanks a lot
I made this last week for our weekly shelter-in-place, “internal sanitization” gathering we have been doing with our neighbors and their daughter. I’m the only vegan and they are all mostly suspicious of anything that I bake. Everyone loved it!! It was a hit and I was told I can make it ant time I want!! Thank you.
