This No Bake Chocolate Pie is quick, easy, and loved by chocolate lovers young and old. Perfect as a make ahead dessert during the hectic holiday season, or whenever you’re craving a cool, creamy chocolate dessert.
I know–the holidays are about baking. But sometimes a girl just needs a dessert that’s quick, simple and doesn’t require the already over burdened oven.
That’s what makes this pie so great–make it ahead, pop it in the fridge, and serve it at your leisure!
This No Bake Chocolate Pie is also great for those pumpkin haters–you know who you are! I have a few of those in my house so I make this dessert every year for Thanksgiving. It’s also super kid friendly, so give them something to enjoy while the adults enjoy bourbon infused pecan pie and spiked egg nog.
Of course, you don’t have to wait until the winter holidays to make this recipe. Because this is a no bake dessert, it’s perfect for any time of year, especially summer time when it’s way too hot to heat up the kitchen. Try this dessert out at your next Fourth of July or Memorial Day get together!
How do i make no bake chocolate pie?
- Mix the pudding with the milk using a whisk to incorporate.
- Spread half of the pudding into the pie shell.
- Mix half a tub of the whipped topping into the remaining pudding and mix well with a whisk.
- Add the pudding mixture over the pudding layer.
Finally, cover the pudding with the remaining whipped topping and sprinkle on the chocolate chips.
Can No Bake Chocolate Pie be made ahead?
Yes, I like the make this the day (or night) before so it’s ready to go the next day. If you don’t have time the day before, just be sure to make the pie at least 2 hours before you want to serve it.
Recipe Variations
You can use reduced fat milk for this recipe, but I don’t recommend going less than 2%. You can also use light or fat free whipped topping, or use a homemade version.
Chocolate chips are my favorite way to top this dessert, but feel free to experiment with some of your favorite toppings! Here are some ideas to try:
- Dust with cocoa powder
- Candy coated chocolate in special colors
- Sprinkles and nonpareils
- Your favorite crushed candy bar
- Shaved chocolate (use a potato peeler to create shavings or ribbons)
