No-Bake Chocolate Pie

This Easy No-Bake Chocolate Pie is the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream. Made with a buttery Oreo crust and a rich, silky chocolate filling, this dessert delivers deep chocolate flavor without ever turning on the oven. A touch of espresso powder enhances the cocoa notes, while the light, whipped texture keeps each bite smooth and luxurious—not overly heavy.

Ingredients

Oreo Crust

  • 32 Oreo cookies
  • ½ cup butter, melted

Chocolate Filling

Melt Together:

  • 8.1 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 5.2 oz heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder

Whip Together:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream, cold
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons instant pudding mix (chocolate or vanilla)

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust:
    Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. If needed, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a cup.
    Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
    Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch pie pan.
    Freeze for at least 20 minutes to set.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Base:
    In a heatproof bowl, combine dark chocolate, heavy cream, vanilla, salt, and espresso powder.
    Melt gently in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
    Let cool completely.
  3. Whip the Filling:
    In a large bowl, add cold heavy cream, instant pudding mix, cocoa powder (sifted), and sugar.
    Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Combine:
    Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the whipped mixture.
    Mix briefly with the electric mixer, then gently fold with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Assemble:
    Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top.
    Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
  6. Top & Serve:
    Whip the topping ingredients until soft peaks form.
    Spread or pipe over the pie before serving.
    Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
