No bake pies aren't just for summer.  They are great all year round! Especially, pies that only need three ingredients and can be served within an hour of making. 🖒

What Kind of Pie Crust Should I Use?

Pictured is a Chocolate Cookie Crust pre-made pie crust. However, this pie will work with a graham cracker crust ( regular or gluten free), an Oreo cookie crust, a shortbread cookie crust, a walnut/pecan crust....the list is endless.  Just stick with a no bake crumb crust and you will be good to go!

What About Whipped Topping?

AKA "Cool Whip". Use any variety ( low fat/fat free/vegan) and brand.  Just be sure it's thawed before you use it.

Chocolate Chips?

I used a milk chocolate variety.  You can go with semi sweet or dark chocolate too.  Whichever you prefer!

Three Ingredient Chocolate Pie

By Erin

Prep: 20 mins Total Time: 3 hrs 20 mins Yield: 8 servings

A rich, velvety chocolate pie that requires absolutely no baking! With just three simple components, you can whip up a spectacular, crowd-pleasing dessert that sets up beautifully in the fridge.

Ingredients

• 11.5 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
• 8 oz tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed and divided
• 1 ready-made graham cracker or chocolate cookie pie crust (9-inch)

Instructions

1. Melt the Chocolate: Pour the chocolate chips into a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session, until the chocolate is completely melted and silk smooth. Let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes to cool down slightly so it doesn't deflate the cream.
2. Fold the Filling: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cooled, melted chocolate using a rubber spatula. Mix slowly until the streaks disappear and a uniform, fluffy chocolate mousse forms.
3. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the chocolate filling directly into the prepared ready-made pie crust. Use your spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the mixture evenly all the way to the edges.
4. Chill and Set: Cover the pie loosely and place it into the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving. This giving it ample time to chill thoroughly and set up firm enough for perfect, clean slices. Keep stored in the refrigerator.
