I live in Louisville, Kentucky, which is home to the original Derby Pie, a rich tart-like pie with walnuts, chocolate chips and, of course, bourbon. As you might expect, in its original form, it’s not vegan at all.
While reading the latest issue of VegNews, my husband came across a recipe for a Chocolate Bourbon Pie from Chef Chloe Coscarelli. It’s a veganized version of the trademarked classic. I left the house to go to yoga and came back to smell this pie baking in the oven. I love my husband very much.
He said the pie came together easily, especially with the help of a ready-made piecrust. It bakes for a total of 55 minutes, but, thankfully, you don’t have to wait for it to cool to eat it; it’s best served warm.

Thank you so much, Poppy! that is very kind of you
You’re welcome!
Yum! What a lovely thing to come home to. : D
It was a welcome surprise, definitely 🙂
I need to pick up that copy of vegnews so I can make this. Also, I think Atlanta’s Dough Bakery made it in there too 🙂
It’s really, really good! And I am so jealous of all your vegan restaurant options in Atlanta. Louisville still has a ways to go on that, sadly.
I made this for Thanksgiving w/ coconut whipped cream (sweetened w maple syrup). It was a HUGE hit especially with the non-vegans!
