I say this a lot, but I genuinely think thisundetectably gluten-freeveganMississippi Mud Pie may be my new favourite dessert -Iabsolutelylove the combination of the fudgey chocolate cake with the silky chocolate pudding and fluffy whipped cream.

The base is my favouritechocolate cake recipe - it resembles the soft, fudgey texture of a flourless chocolate cake and makes the perfect base for other yummy layerslike...

and coconut whipped cream: light, fluffy, perfectly sweetclouds of whipped cream that balance out the richness of the rest of the pie.

If you’re pressed for time, you could use a thick coconut yogurt instead, but I’d really recommend making your own coconut whipped cream because there’s no tangy, yogurt-like flavour, and it’s much fluffier.

I like to add some vanilla extractfor extra flavour and add some maple syrup to sweeten (you don’t need very much though, as the coconut is already naturally sweet).

Ingredients

For the base:

For the chocolate pudding:

  • 2 heaped tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 500 ml (2 cups) unsweetened cashew milk (or sub any other plant-based milk)
  • 5 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)

For the coconut whipped cream*:

  • 400 g (14oz) tin of full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)

To decorate:

  • 1 tablespoon cacao nibs (or dark chocolate shavings)

Instructions

For the base:

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)

  • Drain away most of the water from soaking the dates, leaving a little bit

  • Use a food processor or blender (or hand-held blender) to blend the dates into a smooth purée (leaving a little water will make it much easier)

  • Add the puréed dates into a bowl along with all the other ingredients and mix well - add a little more milk if it's too hard to mix

  • Transfer to a greased pie dish - use a fairly deep one to leave enough room at the top for the other layers (I used a 22.5 cm/9 inch pie dish)

  • Bake in oven for around 20 minutes and leave to cool

For the chocolate pudding:

  • Add all ingredients to a saucepan and mix well before heating

  • Cook on a low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until a thick custard has formed

  • Taste and adjust sweetener if necessary

  • Leave custard to cool slightly, then pour over the cake base and leave to cool

For the coconut whipped cream:

  • You’ll need to keep your tin of coconut milk in the fridge overnight for the rich creamy bit to separate from the watery bit at the bottom. Make sure it is full fat coconut milk, otherwise this separation won’t happen and you won’t be able to make this cream!

  • Open the tin upside down – the coconut cream will be at the bottom and you can just pour off the watery liquid (save this for adding to smoothies)

  • Place the thick, creamy part into a bowl with around 3 tablespoons of the water

  • Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract

  • Use an electric whisk (or a manual one and a bit of elbow grease) to whip up the coconut cream until light and fluffy

  • Ensuring that the custard has cooled down and set, pour the coconut whipped cream on top

  • Sprinkle with cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings to decorate

  • Keeps covered in the fridge for a few days

Notes

*Use a thick coconut yogurt instead if you’re pressed for time

    This looks delicious! I dont have any dates but I have date syrup. Would I be able to use that instead? If so how much? Thank you.

      Hi, no sorry because the texture of the dates is needed for binding together the mixture. If you don't have dates something like dried figs or dried apricots may work for a similar texture, but for best flavour and texture I recommend using dates!

    Is there a gluten free flour substitute? I’m allergic to almonds..

      You can replace the ground almonds with ground walnuts or ground sunflower seeds, or a fifth of the amount coconut flour! Hope that helps!
