No-Bake Chocolate Pie

An easy and indulgent recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Pie!It seems like the summer is just endless this year, and that doesn’t make me feel like baking. I mean isn’t it hot enough out side? do I really have to heat up inside as well?This No-Bake Chocolate Pie is one of the easiest recipes I ever made! It doesn’t require that many ingredients, I practically whipped it up from what I had lying in my pantry. My better health had his B-day last week, so it was party time almost every day here, and I had to make some sort of cake to celebrate…… I was really not in a baking kinda mood and thought that a no-bake dessert is a pretty safe bet, and I was right too 😉

A couple of notes about this No-Bake Chocolate Pie:

• As I mentioned I made this pie from what I found in my pantry, I used Petit-Beurre cookies for the crust but you can use digestive biscuits or even Oreo cookies, and you’ll get just as good crust as I did
• You have to freeze the crust before pouring in the filling, other wise you will get crumbs of cookies all over instead of a firm crust
• The pie filling is basically an upgraded ganache, so you better use high-quality dark chocolate. I usually use 60% cocoa chocolate for the best results
• You must let the pie chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving it
• As I mentioned I used what I found in my pantry, you can defiantly switch the topping with what ever you like. I also like topping the pie with cocoa nibs, mini marshmallows or nothing at all and it comes out just as good
