Ingredients
Filling
- 1 ¼ cup Nutella chocolate spread
- 1 brick (8 oz) cream cheese, softened (or 1 cup)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Crust
- 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
Garnishes
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
- Chocolate drizzle
- Hazelnuts, whole or chopped
- Variety of bottle drizzle sauces (including caramel, white chocolate, etc.)
Instructions
- Mix Nutella, cream cheese, and sea salt: In a large bowl, combine the Nutella, softened cream cheese, and sea salt. Using a hand mixer, blend them together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed frozen whipped topping into the Nutella mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is evenly incorporated without deflating the whipped topping.
- Fill the pie crust: Spoon the Nutella mixture into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to level out the surface for an even finish.
- Chill to set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the filling to firm up properly.
- Add garnishes and serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, drizzles of chocolate or caramel sauce, and sprinkle with hazelnuts to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- For best results, chill the pie overnight to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up.
- You can substitute the frozen whipped topping with freshly whipped cream if desired.
- Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use a hand mixer to avoid lumps, and fold carefully to keep the whipped topping light and airy.
