Chocolate Pudding Pie (Gluten-Free)


After making this pumpkin cake for John’s birthday two years in a row, I figured it was time for a change. Not that he would have minded having it again. He is pretty loyal to the things he likes and he actually initially requested it but was tempted after I suggested a chocolate pudding pie. Who wouldn’t be swayed by the greatest of all tempters: chocolate!


The crust for this pie is no-bake and made with corn flakes. The filling is a mixture of bananas, chocolate and a hint of butter. Putting the pie together takes about 10 minutes, give or take a few, no more, I promise. Then the pie sets in the refrigerator for several hours, and voilà! C’est tout. That is all.

For the corn flake pie crust:
4 cups gluten-free corn flakes
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk or coconut milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted


For the filling:
4 medium bananas
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted

To make the crust, grind the corn flakes to a powder in a food processor. In a large bowl, mix the ground corn flakes with milk, butter and melted chocolate. Spread the crust in an 8-inch springform pie/tart dish by pressing it down with your fingers.

Process all of the ingredients for the filling in a food processor until you obtain a smooth and creamy brown mixture. Pour it in the crust.

Refrigerate the pie until set, a minimum of 4 to 6 hours.

Enjoy!

Note: You could freeze the pie so it sets faster or if you want to turn it into an ice cream pie.

P.S. I just created a new Facebook page for Dinners & Dreams. Please head over and join. I’d love to see you there.

    The filling looks so rich, I could not believe it is so (relatively) healthy! A great idea for summer months, indeed: my kitchen is very hot in the afternoon and any non bake dessert is welcome.

    Very interesting recipe, corn flakes in the crust and banana mixed with chocolate. Sounds divine. I suppose you will receive frequent requests for this one!

    What a decadent treat! I love that it's no bake too – it's the perfect dessert for when it's too hot out to turn on the oven!

    oh my gosh- that looks amazing! And I'm not even a big chocolate gal. A cornflake crust? I've never tried anything like this. Fabulous

    That corn flake pie crust looks awesome! I woud never have thought to use corn flakes and coconut milk. But it's great – especially since my best friend can't tolerate gluten. The chocolate filling looks great, but I bet this crust would be awesome with a variety of fillings.

    Thanks for this posts. This looks "simply delicious!" I am always on the look out of recipes that are "gluten-free." I plan to use this recipe and "substitute" the "semi-sweet chocolate chips" for "Xocai Healthy Chocolate." "Xocai Dark Chocolates" are also "gluten-free, diabetic, vegan and vegetarian friendly!" YUM!
    Thanks again!

    Oh, what a beautiful tart pan! When you're baking in it, do things cook evenly? Lovely photos, too. This was my first time here;)
