Good morning! Another day, another pie. Not the last one I’ll be posting this week, so buckle up. We’re in full-on summer now, and I always turn to no bake pies in the summertime.
Our temps down here in Florida have been in the high 90s for over a week as it is, and my kitchen truly heats up when I turn on the oven. Even in our winter months here, I have to crank the AC if I want to stay cool in the kitchen. The best case scenario this time of year is a no bake recipe that doesn’t require my oven.
Also, since it’s summertime, most people don’t want to be stuck indoors anyway. After all, we’ve been cooped up inside for an extraordinary amount of time over the last few months. Spend as little time in the house as you can.
No bake pies are your best friend right now. You want something homemade (or semi-homemade anyway), but will not have you toiling away in the house.
This No Bake Raspberry Nutella Pie is quick-to-prep, and despite having a number of layers to it, is only just a few simple, easy steps. Minimal work and effort, short prep time, AND common, accessible ingredients.
One of my favorite ingredients to pair with Nutella is raspberries. If it’s fall, I’m combining pumpkin and Nutella, and if it’s summer, I’m pairing raspberries and Nutella. The rest of the year, just plain chocolate with Nutella. That’s Nutella by the seasons for me.
Strawberries or cherries are also fine choices though, and I could even see blueberries being a nice marriage with Nutella! If you want to substitute for a different fruit/berry and type of jam, that can certainly be done.
But my #1 pick is raspberries. They feel elegant. Not sure why, but they just do, and I also simply think that raspberry, chocolate, and hazelnut are so well-suited.
This No Bake Raspberry Nutella Pie has a couple layers, but it’s the furthest thing from complicated or difficult. The bottom layer is simply raspberry preserves. Most recipes would recommend seedless. I weirdly like the seeds, so that’s what I use, but go with your personal tastes!
Followed by a layer of Nutella-infused chocolate pudding. Look, this is just a slightly thicker instant chocolate pudding with a heap of Nutella swirled in! I can’t pretend it’s not doctored-up box pudding, but dang if it’s not satisfying.
It’s really thick and creamy, and the Nutella just elevates regular ol’ pudding to next level in both flavor and texture. So yummy. Eat it all on its own.
It could be a dip. Dunk berries or graham crackers or Oreos in it. Love that idea. Remind me to do that.
The next layer is a little bit of that Nutella chocolate pudding mixture combined with whipped cream for a lighter, mousse-y layer. Fluffy, puffy, and creamy. Actually, it could also be a dip! A fluffier one.
Lastly, top this No Bake Raspberry Nutella Pie with a few garnishes to cap it off. A beautiful blanket of whipped cream, chocolate curls, or chocolate chips — honestly, whatever is handy — and a handful of fresh raspberries.
The most basic of pies will get a fancy final look with a couple of super simple, effortless garnishes.
Garnishes are easy to scrimp on, and you could certainly dispense with them altogether if you want to be seriously quick and fuss-free, but I do think they add such a punch to the final presentation.
Want to make substitutions or upgrades to this No Bake Raspberry Nutella Pie?
Here are some tips and variations:
- Rather than purchase a store-bought, prepared crust, use a homemade crust — whether you have a favorite pastry crust recipe, or whether you make a chocolate cookie crust from scratch. Easy enough: Combine 2 cups (about 20) Oreos (regular, not Double Stuff) or chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, 2 tbsp. granulated sugar, and 4-5 tbsp. melted butter, stirring until crumbly. Press into a small pie plate, and voila.
- Swap the Cool Whip or prepared whipped topping with fresh, homemade whipped cream. For each 8 oz. whipped topping in a recipe, use 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream with 1 tbsp. powdered sugar. In a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. It takes only takes 2-3 minutes. It is a huge upgrade from store-bought whipped topping! HUGE. Worth it nearly every time.
- The roots of this recipe are versatile. You could use any jam or preserves, pick your favorite, along with any type of berry. Swap a different pudding flavor too, and create endless combinations. Also note, you can substitute a shortbread or graham cracker for the chocolate cookie crust, and you’re off to the races.
