Ultra Creamy Dark Chocolate Coconut Pie (Allergen-Free, Paleo, Kid-Friendly)

This ultra-creamy chocolate pie is a dream for anyone needing a gut healthy, top-9 allergen-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, or refined-sugar-free dessert.

Instead of yogurt or cream, this recipe leans on

  1. full-fat coconut cream,

  2. 100% pure Criollo cacao wafers, and

  3. a scoop of my favorite gut-lining supporting Be Well By Kelly vanilla grass-fed beef protein, which naturally sweetens (via the organic monk fruit) and thickens the filling (via the naturally occurring collagen).

Everything blends together in under 2 minutes, chills into a rich, chocolate pie, slices cleanly, freezes well & tastes luxurious sans dairy, egg, refined sugar, nuts, soy, or gluten.

It’s the kind of dessert that feels indulgent while staying incredibly simple, clean, and kid-friendly.

Recipe Flavor + Texture Notes

  • Coconut cream (the thick part from chilled cans) creates a silky, firm mousse texture

  • 100% Criollo cacao wafers add a super deep chocolate flavor - solidifies when cold

  • Be Well By Kelly grass-fed beef Vanilla protein adds natural sweetness + gentle thickening

  • Only 1/2 cup of chocolate needed pure cacao is very strong and firms up beautifully

  • Blender-only — no melting / no baking. Just make sure you serve it cool/straight from the fridge to keep form!

  • Gluten-free & allergen-free with the Wholly Wholesome GF crust

🥥 INGREDIENTS

For the filling

  • 2 can coconut milk (linked is the only brand I’ve recipe tested with)
    Use only the solid, chilled cream top from the full-fat coconut milk can

  • 1/2 cup Santa Barbara Chocolate 100% Pure Criollo Cacao Wafers (unsweetened)
    This is the brand I use/trust, feel free to use chocolate chips of your choice!

  • 1 scoop Be Well By Kelly Vanilla Grass-Fed Beef Protein ($10 code MUMWITHABUN)
    Truly clean, collagen-rich, like bone broth, it’s gently derived with heat & water only (no chemicals used) — just 3 ingredients: grass fed beef protein, organic vanilla, and organic monk fruit — adds sweetness & thickness.

For the crust

Optional toppings

  • Coconut whipped cream

  • Drizzle of Raw Honey

  • Fresh strawberries

  • Strawberry jam drizzle

METHOD

1. Prep the Coconut Cream

  • Chill 2 cans of full-fat coconut milk overnight.

  • Scoop out the solid white cream (sits on the top of the can); save the liquid for something else!

  • Measure ~1 cup of coconut cream.

2. Blender up Protein + Cream (No Clumps)

To prevent protein clumping:

  • Add ½ cup coconut cream + 1 scoop this protein powder to the blender.

  • Blend 10-20 seconds until smooth.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients

To the blender, add:

  • Remaining 1/2 cup coconut cream

  • 1/2 cup cacao chips (unmelted)

4. Blend Until Silky Smooth

  • Start on low speed, increase to high.

  • Blend 60-90 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.

  • The mixture should be glossy and loose-pudding-like. If you like small chunks of chocolate chips to chew on, blend for <60 seconds.

5. Fill the Pie Crust

  • Pour the chocolate filling into the crust.

  • Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Chill to Set

  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm and sliceable.

  • Overnight creates the thickest, richest texture.

7. Add Optional Toppings

  • Coconut whipped cream (whip coconut cream until fluffy and layer on top with a flat spatula)

  • Fresh berries or strawberry jam

  • Cocoa nibs

🍫 A Sweetened Option

A Sweetened Version

  • Follow the above method/ingredients and add

  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup blended into the filling or drizzled on top.

Tips for Perfect Texture

  • Serve CHILLED.

  • Use only coconut cream, not the watery liquid in the coconut can.

  • Blend the protein first so it dissolves smoothly

  • Chill at least 3 hours, 4 is even better.

Storage + Freshness Tips

Refrigerator:

  • Store covered in the fridge for 4–5 days

  • Best texture when served cold and freshly sliced

  • Coconut cream + cacao firm naturally when chilled

Freezer (Whole Pie):

  • Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months

  • Thaw overnight in the fridge for a soft, mousse-like slice

  • Or enjoy straight from the freezer for that firmer, ice-cream-bar texture!

Freezer (Sliced — My Favorite Option):

  • Slice fully set pie and freeze slices individually

  • Store slices in an airtight container or freezer bag

  • Keeps well for 2–3 months

  • Remove one slice at a time — no full thaw needed

  • Texture stays creamy, not icy, thanks to the coconut fat + cacao

Mum Tip:
This is one of my favorite desserts to keep stocked. I freeze slices so my child can take a piece to birthday parties, celebrations, or for those “just because” dessert moments — it’s a treat that feels special but still supports her body.

Bon Appétit!
