8 ingredients, you got this people!
For this totally delectable chocolate, peppermint dessert (already in the Holiday mood over here) I used Coconut Cloud Vanilla powdered coconut creamer to make these ultra creamy and smooth pies!
I came across Coconut Cloud in a local vegan market here in Denver and picked it up to try out in my morning Matcha and let me tell ya, this stuff is GOOD and versatile. You can use it for your everyday creamer, in desserts, to make full fat coconut milk and lite coconut milk.
This stuff is magical.
All of Coconut Cloud's delicious products are 100% dairy free, non-gmo, vegan, gluten and soy free! They are free of carrageenan and titanium dioxide and has a low glycemic index, not spiking blood sugar -- so no mid-day crash if you are using it in your morning lattes! HUGE WIN!
The melted chocolate in this recipe is what really holds up the cream pie! Once the hot, melty chocolate is mixed into your dates and Coconut Cloud Vanilla Creamer it will set once put in the fridge because essentially the chocolate re-firms up to this magical creamy filling!
Science is sweet, baking is even sweeter!
