Vegan Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie

This Vegan Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a special celebration or just a regular weeknight treat. I love making it for family gatherings and potlucks because it’s always a hit with both vegans and non-vegans alike. The best part? It’s so easy to make! Plus, the combination of chocolate and coconut is simply irresistible. Every time I make this pie, it brings back fond memories of baking with my mom as a child. Now, I get to pass on that tradition to my own family.

Hi, I’m Jenny, the creator of Plant Based Palate. I started this blog in 2022 when my youngest son was just 4 year’s old. I almost went back to work as a nurse, but instead, I bought a camera off Craigslist and started this blog!

I felt the need to be home with my son, plus I never liked being a nurse, to be honest. And I absolutely LOVE creating vegan recipes. I also discovered how much I enjoy photography and taking pictures of my food.
