Crust Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, butter, and sugar. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
Filling Preparation
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate and heavy cream (or coconut cream) and place it over a saucepan with simmering water. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Combine and Bake
- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk together quickly until well combined. Pour the filling into the pre-baked gluten-free crust, spreading it evenly. Return the pie to the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. The filling should be set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Cooling
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. After cooling, cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or even overnight for the best texture.

Notes
Serve the pie warm with vanilla ice cream or chilled with whipped cream. Use a sharp knife for clean slices after chilling.
