  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, or canned coconut cream*
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder*
  • 2 tablespoons low-FODMAP, gluten-free flour or fine yellow cornmeal
  • 1 frozen 9-inch low-FODMAP, gluten-free pie crust*, or Dr. Rachel’s Low-FODMAP Traditional Pie Crust Recipe; Gluten-free, par-baked per instructions**

Instructions

  1. If not already done, par-bake your choice of pie crust, if required*(see below)
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F
  3. Place unsalted butter, and semisweet chocolate chips in a large microwavable bowl, and microwave in 30-second intervals, stopping to stir between, until melted (will be about 1-2 minutes)
  4. Whisk brown sugar into the chocolate mixture, then add the eggs, one at a time, and whisk until smooth
  5. Stir heavy cream, vanilla, and salt into chocolate mixture, then add the cocoa and LF, GF flour (or cornmeal) until just combined
  6. Pour mixture into your par-baked piecrust, and place in the preheated oven until the filling is puffy, but not fully set (should have a slight jiggle), about 35 to 40 minutes
  7. Let cool completely before slicing, and serve with whipped cream if desired
