This Easy No-Bake Chocolate Pie is a creamy, rich dessert that combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a smooth chocolate filling made from melted chocolate and whipped cream. Perfect for anyone seeking a decadent chocolate treat without the hassle of baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 200 g Digestive or graham crackers (7 oz)
  • 100 g Butter (3.5 oz), melted

Filling

  • 400 g Chocolate (14 oz), chopped
  • 400 ml Heavy cream / whipping cream (13.6 fl.oz)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush the digestive or graham crackers into tiny crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Combine crumbs and butter: Melt 100 g of butter and mix it thoroughly with the cracker crumbs until evenly coated.
  3. Form the crust: Press the crumb and butter mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie or tart pan, creating an even crust layer.
  4. Chill the crust: Place the assembled crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up and set.
  5. Chop the chocolate: While the crust chills, chop 400 g of chocolate into small pieces to ensure even melting.
  6. Heat the cream: Gently heat 400 ml of heavy or whipping cream until just about to boil, then immediately remove from heat.
  7. Make the filling: Add the chopped chocolate to the hot cream and stir continuously until the chocolate fully melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  8. Add butter and salt: Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and a pinch of salt until fully combined to enhance flavor and texture.
  9. Fill the crust: Pour the creamy chocolate filling into the chilled pie crust and spread evenly.
  10. Set the pie: Let the pie cool briefly at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for several hours (at least 3-4 hours) to allow the filling to set completely.
  11. Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle some salt flakes on top or grate additional chocolate over the pie to elevate the flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use good quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute digestive biscuits with graham crackers or any similar cookie.
  • Make sure the cream is hot enough to melt the chocolate smoothly but not boiling.
  • Refrigeration time can be extended overnight for a firmer set.
  • For a lighter version, you can reduce the butter slightly, but it will affect the creaminess of the filling.
