Why You’ll Love This No Bake Chocolate Truffle Pie
- No oven needed – perfect for hot days or quick prep.
- Simple ingredients – only five pantry/fridge staples.
- Ultra creamy – thanks to whipped cream and rich chocolate.
- Make ahead friendly – needs 8 hours to chill, so it’s ready when you are.
- Chocolate lovers’ dream – every bite is smooth, silky, and packed with cocoa bliss. Not to be confused, however, with my No Bake Triple Chocolate Pie, which is a dessert unto itself. Yummy!
Making a No Bake Chocolate Truffle Pie
First, let’s not turn the oven on. We are, however, going to use the microwave.
That said, in a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of the heavy whipping cream. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until the chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth and creamy, then allow to cool until room temperature.
While that’s cooling, sift the powdered sugar. Then, once the chocolate has cooled down, stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Set aside for now.
Meanwhile, place a small bowl and beaters in the freezer. These need to chill for 15 – 20 minutes, because it’s the best way to whip heavy whipping cream.
Add the remaining 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream to the chilled bowl and beat on low speed until the cream becomes foamy. At that point, increase your speed to high until soft peaks form.
Then, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until combined, then spread into the pie crust (chocolate or pecan). Cover the pie and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight, thus allowing the flavors time to meld together. Delicious!
Tips for the Perfect No Bake Chocolate Truffle Pie
- Don’t skip the chill time! The flavor and texture improves dramatically after 8 hours.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor.
- Sift the powdered sugar to avoid clumps in your pie.
- Decorate (or not): Add a sprinkle of sea salt, chocolate curls, or crushed Oreos on top! Maybe pipe on some whipped cream around the edge.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers (if you have any!) covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. This pie is also freezer-friendly for up to 1 month—just thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
