How to Make This No-Bake Vegan Cream Pie Recipe

No oven. No stress. No specialist equipment needed. Just follow these steps for a result that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Step 1: Build the Biscuit Base

Blitz the vegan biscuits in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Add the melted dairy-free butter and caster sugar, then pulse again until it resembles damp sand. Press the mixture firmly into the base and sides of a lined 20cm springform tin. Use the bottom of a glass to compact it evenly. Transfer to the freezer for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

Step 2: Make the Cremaura-Infused Filling

In a large bowl, beat the dairy-free cream cheese until completely smooth. Add the sifted icing sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold coconut cream until soft peaks form. 

This step is essential: the coconut cream must be refrigerated overnight to whip properly. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, keeping it light.

Now for the star of the show. Pour in 80 ml of Cremaura. This is what transforms a good vegan cream pie recipe into something truly extraordinary. Stir gently to combine, preserving that airy, velvety texture.

Dissolve the agar-agar in warm water, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes, then fold it carefully through the filling. This gives your vegan cream pie recipe a beautifully set, sliceable consistency without a drop of gelatine.

Step 3: Assemble and Chill

Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the surface with a palette knife. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least four hours: overnight is best for a firmer, cleaner finish.

Once fully set, carefully remove from the tin. Take a moment to admire it: honestly, it’s beautiful. Add your toppings: whipped coconut cream, fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, and a final generous drizzle of Cremaura.

Slice it cleanly with a warm knife and serve straight from the fridge. Your vegan cream pie recipe is ready. It’s time to impress the room.

Two Flavour Directions: Which Cremaura Will You Choose?

The beauty of this vegan cream pie recipe lies in how adaptable it is. The Cremaura flavour you pick changes the entire character of the dessert.

●    Cremaura Tequila Rose

Light, floral, and delicately sweet. The Tequila Rose gives the filling a gorgeous soft-pink tone and a subtle strawberry note. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries, a hibiscus glaze, or edible rose petals on top.

This version photographs like an absolute dream: ideal for sharing on Instagram or Pinterest. Perfect for spring gatherings, Mother’s Day, birthday celebrations, or simply any occasion that deserves a bit of blush-pink elegance and a whole lot of indulgence.

●    Cremaura Coffee Caramel

Bold, rich, and deeply satisfying. The Coffee Caramel brings a mocha warmth that transforms this vegan cream pie recipe into something closer to a next-level tiramisu. Comforting and complex in equal measure.

Top this version with vegan dark chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, and crushed espresso biscuits. Add a drizzle of Cremaura Coffee Caramel over the top just before serving, and watch every single guest reach for seconds.

Both options make for a truly showstopping vegan cream pie recipe. Can’t decide between the two? Make both versions and let your guests choose their favourite. You’ll win either way.

Tips to Perfect Your Vegan Cream Pie Recipe Every Time

A few things worth knowing before you get started:

●    Chill your coconut cream overnight: This is non-negotiable for proper whipping
●    Press the base firmly: A loose base makes clean slicing nearly impossible
●    Set it overnight if possible: Patience here pays off in texture and presentation
●    Fold, don’t whisk, the filling: Keep it light and airy, not dense
●    Let agar-agar cool before folding: Adding it too hot can affect the set
●    Use a warm knife to slice: Dip in hot water, wipe dry, and cut for clean, beautiful portions
●    Make individual portions: Set in small glasses for an elegant dinner party presentation

This vegan cream pie recipe is also brilliant for making ahead. Prepare the base and filling the evening before. Simply add your toppings on the day. Less stress, more celebration, and a dessert that looks like it came straight from a professional kitchen.

One final note: this recipe is just as wonderful served in individual glasses as it is in a full-size tin. Layer the biscuit base, then the Cremaura filling, and top with cream and fruit for a gorgeous, fuss-free dinner party dessert that your guests will absolutely rave about.
