Description
No Bake Chocolate Pie is a rich, creamy dessert with a chocolate cookie crust and silky chocolate filling, all made without turning on the oven. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or warm days.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreo or chocolate graham crackers)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate curls, fresh berries
Instructions
In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined.
- Press into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Melt chocolate with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt; mix until well combined.
- Beat in the cooled chocolate mixture until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and light.
- Spoon filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate curls, or berries if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor and smoothest texture.
- Let cream cheese come to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chill overnight for best results and easier slicing.
- Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy.
- Pie can be made ahead and frozen for longer storage.
