Ingredients

Crust:

2 cups dairy-free sugar cookies
1/2 cup vegan butter, melted

Cream layer:

Ganache layer:

Toppings:

2 cups vegan whipped cream
1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted (optional)
1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Process the sugar cookies with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch pie pan and bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool.
Blend the vegan cream cheese, coconut cream, maple syrup, and coconut extract together until completely smooth, then fold in the shredded coconut.
Spoon the mixture into the pie crust and freeze for 30 minutes until mostly solid.
For the ganache, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips, almond milk, and coconut oil, whisking until completely combined.
Spread the chocolate ganache over the coconut cream pie and return it to the freezer for another 10 minutes.
For garnish, top the vegan chocolate coconut cream pie with vegan whipped cream, toasted coconut, and chocolate chips.

Notes

For convenience, you can simply add all the dairy-free ganache ingredients to a microwaveable bowl and melt them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave the mixture again in 15-second intervals until about 90% melted. Then, whisk the ganache until completely smooth.
This chocolate coconut cream pie is perfect for making ahead! While you must freeze it for at least 30 minutes before serving, you'll find the best texture if you chill it in the fridge overnight.
You can freeze this dairy-free coconut cream pie for up to one week. However, it'll be harder to slice, so remove it from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving. You can also run your knife through warm water before slicing the pie.
