If you’re looking for a chocolate fix, look no further, this is it! The filling is a dairy-free, dreamy chocolate delight. A very mellow chocolate flavor, so two pieces might be in order. If you prefer a darker chocolate flavor, feel free to increase the cocoa powder by a tablespoon or dive into the rich and deep dark side of chocolate. Either way, cut into this delicious pie and enjoy every single bite.

Prepare a heatproof bowl with a fine-mesh sieve on top of it, set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg yolks and maple sugar. Whip the ingredients with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes until well combined and a little lighter in color. Add the tapioca starch, cocoa and salt and mix well into the egg/sugar mixture.
Pour in the almond milk and mix again to fully combine. Pour this mixture into a heavy-bottomed three qt saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, usually around 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla.
Remove from the heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into the mixing bowl, using the back of the spoon to push through. The custard will be thick, but this process will remove any lumps, making for a very creamy mixture.
Place the custard in the refrigerator to cool for 45-60 minutes. When it’s cool, add 1 cup (120 g) of the whipped cream and fold in with a rubber spatula to fully combine. Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust and place in the refrigerator to set up for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
When you are ready to serve, place the remaining ½ cup of the whipped cream in the center of the pie and sprinkle shaved chocolate on top if using.
