Quite possibly the best dessert I’ve ever made. This Nutella pie hasn’t even made its debut out into the world, and already all the members of both of our families have fallen completely head over heels for it. When I was a kid, my parents would take us all to Bakers Square on the weekends and let us pick out a slice each of our favorite pie. It’s one of my fondest childhood memories. Can you guess which one I got? The chocolate pie, of course. When I sent some of this over to my parents, both of them remarked how similar it was to the chocolate pie from Bakers Square. I can’t for the life of me remember what it tastes like now. But I’ll take my parent’s word for it. Whenever I’m testing a dessert recipe, I have two goals: 1.) make it easy 2.) get it out of the house as quickly as possible. This Nutella pie recipe was nearly impossible to part with because it’s so good that I’d catch myself walking back to the refrigerator every 10 minutes to sneak a bite. Did I attend an extra session at Orange Theory that week? Most definitely. The first time I made this pie, I have to be honest, I didn’t think it would be as good as it was. It was just too simple, you know? Two ingredient crust. Five ingredient Nutella pie filling? I had low expectations. So you can imagine my surprise when the crowd went wild! But don’t take my word for it. You’ve got to try this one for yourself.
Ingredients for Easy Nutella Pie Recipe
Sandwich cookies: We’ll use the chocolate cookies to make an Oreo cookie crust. We’ll crush the cookies in a food processor, before using them in the recipe.Butter: we’ll use the butter as glue for the Oreo crust. Once mixed, we’ll pack it into a pie dish to create the chocolate crust.Cream Cheese: I like to use full-fat cream cheese for this recipe. Be sure to bring it to room temperature so that it’s soft enough to whip up.Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: You can use any chocolate hazelnut spread that you like for this recipe. I typically use this brand which has clean ingredients and has a deep hazelnut taste or swap it for Nutella. I also have a recipe for a homemade chocolate hazelnut spread, but I haven’t had a chance to test this pie with it yet! Vanilla extract: use a splash of your favorite brand. This is the one I typically have on hand.Kosher Salt: a pinch of salt helps balance all the sweetness in this recipe.Whipped Dessert Topping: This is just a fancy way of saying grab yourself a tub of cool whip!Heavy Cream: we’ll whip the cream with an electric mixer with sugar to make a whipped topping for the pie.Granulated Sugar: we’ll use a couple tablespoons of granulates sugar to sweeten the heavy cream for the topping.Chocolate Shavings: You could also use chopped hazelnuts if you prefer, I usually like chocolate shavings. If you don’t haven of these, you just need bar of semisweet chocolate and a vegetable peeler to make the shavings.

Salt: If you don’t have salted butter, just add ¼ teaspoon kosher salt to the crust.Whipped Cream: If it’s particularly hot when you’re making this, I suggest freezing the bowl and beaters for the whipped cream for 10-15 minutes before whipping the heavy cream.
