Ingredients
Scale
½ cup Vegan Butter (melted)
2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs (about 12 graham cracker sheets)
2 cups Dairy-free Chocolate Chips (divided)
1 cup Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup Pecans (lightly toasted)
11 ounces Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9 X 13 baking dish by lining with parchment paper.
While the oven preheats, toast the pecans on a baking sheet for about 5-8 minutes while you make the crust and filling.
In a food processor or blender, pulse 12 graham crackers about 4-5 times to turn them into about 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs. Alternatively you can buy pre-made graham cracker crumbs.
In a mixing bowl stir together 2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup melted vegan butter. Press this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Next, sprinkle 1 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips on top of the graham cracker crust and set aside.
Remove the pecans from the oven and chop into desired size, I like mine to be bite-sized.
In a mixing bowl (reuse the same bowl from before to reduce dishes) stir together 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and 1 (11-oz) can of sweetened condensed coconut milk.
Pour the mixture over the chocolate chip topped graham cracker crust and spread to cover evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes and allow to cool before removing from pan and cutting!
