I made this Vegan Chocolate Pecan Pie for my dad’s holiday dinner last month. The chocolate and pecans made it gooey, and my uncle said it was the best he tried.
Rich Vegan Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe
This decadent pie features a smooth chocolate filling enriched with pecans, all nestled in a flaky vegan crust. With approximately 60 minutes of preparation and baking time, this recipe yields one 9-inch pie that serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter or other nut butter
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pre-made vegan pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the maple syrup, almond butter, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Add the Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans into the chocolate mixture.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the pre-made vegan pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly gooey in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve as is, or with a scoop of vegan ice cream.

I store the pie at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to four days. The stay gooey, and I let slices come to room temperature before serving.
