Dairy-free French Silk pie is every bit as indulgent as you could ever want. I have made this recipe as mousse cups for a variation. They are delicious! Just crumble up some graham crackers or baked pastry at the bottom then top with the chocolate cream followed by the sweet cream.
For the pie crust, make one recipe of Flaky Pie Crust or use a store bought pastry crust.

Am I able to substitute regular sugar for the powdered since I have a corn allergy? All the powdered sugar I found has cornstarch in it 🙁
So I did a quick search and Wholesome brand doesn’t have cornstarch. It’s Wholesome brand Icing Sugar. It’s blended with Tapioca starch. I’ve used that brand before. It works great. I hope you enjoy!
