Ingredients
Pie Filling
- 1 ¼ cup Nutella chocolate spread
- 1 brick (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Pie Crust and Garnishes
- 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
- Chocolate drizzle (such as from a drizzle bottle set), for garnish
- Hazelnuts, whole or chopped, for garnish
- Optional caramel and white chocolate drizzle from a 6 bottle drizzle set
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, softened cream cheese, and sea salt. Use a hand mixer to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently add the thawed frozen whipped topping to the Nutella and cream cheese mixture. Using a spatula, fold the whipped topping in carefully to retain its light, airy texture without deflating.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the Nutella filling into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust. Use the spatula to even out the surface, creating a smooth top layer.
- Chill the pie: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow the filling to firm up properly. For best results, chilling overnight is recommended.
- Add garnishes and serve: Just before serving, decorate the top of the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chocolate drizzle, and hazelnuts to your desired taste. Slice and enjoy this rich, no-bake dessert.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese before mixing ensures a smoother filling without lumps.
- Folding in the whipped topping gently helps maintain the pie’s light texture.
- Graham cracker crusts can be store-bought or homemade depending on preference.
- Chilling time is critical to set the pie—longer chilling enhances texture and flavor meld.
- Use a variety of chocolate drizzle flavors for added visual appeal and taste complexity.
