First up in my latest series The Four Best Cream Pie Recipes is this White Chocolate Berry Cream Pie!
Can’t get white chocolate you say?
Not to worry! I have a pure vanilla variation below that is just as amazing!
This is a NO BAKE, NO NUTS, NO MIXER required recipe that you can pull together in just about an hour!
Make this recipe into 1 full sized family style 9″ pie or go individual 4″ tart molds like I did for a total of 6 servings.
Go for the mixed berries like me or just use strawberries or even NO BERRIES at all!
Coconut Whipped Cream to top it all off or go minimalist with no cream for a lighter, less fat version!
My recipes as usual are versatile and user friendly and I think you will agree when you see just how easy this one is to make!
Check out the full video tutorial for how to make this amazing dessert!

- For the crust grind up the sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs.
- Add the melted vegan butter and process until it is even and resembles wet sand
- Press this mixture into an un-greased pie plate (9") or your un-greased 4" tart molds (6) and refrigerate until needed OR for a crispy pie shell, bake in a preheated 350F oven for 12-15 minutes to crisp
- Prepare the berry compote by cooking the berries over a medium heat with the optional sugar
- Stir often to avoid burning.
- The berries will start to break down and get syrup-y especially if you use frozen berries.
- If you are using fresh berries you may have to add a few tablespoons of water to help them cook down.
- After about 20-30 minutes the berry mixture will be broken down, syrup-y and starting to get thicker.
- Remove from heat and let cool (it will thicken as it cools)
- Prepare the custard by combining plant milk, sugar & cornstarch in a medium sauce pot over medium to high heat and bring to a boil stirring constantly to avoid scorching the bottom .
- Once it starts to bubble remove from the heat and add the vegan butter & the white chocolate, stir to melt evenly throughout.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Pour into the prepare pie shell or the tart shells then refrigerate for about 20minutes to cool & set.
- Top with the cooled berry compote and then coconut whipped cream
- Serve with shaved white chocolate *optional.
