Healthy Homemade Chocolate Pie

Easy recipe for healthy homemade chocolate pie, the perfect no-bake dessert! Made in a homemade pie crust and filled with delicious cocoa chocolate mousse.

When you spend a lot of time cooking in the kitchen during the holidays, sometimes it’s nice to make something EASY for a change, am I right?

Maybe something no-bake and nearly hands-free, to give yourself a break from all the time you spent hovering over the stove or pulling things in and out of the oven?

Friends, it would help if you had my healthy, no-bake chocolate pie. It’s SO easy, and fast! I promise you will LOVE it!!

I made this for my family and EVERY SINGLE PERSON (myself included) was BEGGING for seconds. When the pie was gone, there were groans that someone else had taken the last piece!!

Healthy No-Bake Chocolate Pie

Aside from the fact that this no-bake chocolate pie is so good, your family and guests will be fighting over the last piece, this healthy dessert is also:

• Dairy-free, egg-free, and easily gluten-free
• Naturally sweetened
• Velvety smooth
• Rich and creamy
• Raw and Vegan (no tofu!)
• Ready in about 15 minutes without refrigeration!

This pie has become our new family favorite, and I know it will be yours too!

Ingredients for Healthy Chocolate Cream Pie

This pie is a spin-off of my avocado chocolate mousse – AND BEFORE YOU RUN AWAY BECAUSE I SAID AVOCADO – I promise you can’t even taste it.

• When my husband, who HATES avocados, tried a piece, he couldn’t even taste them (and asked for another piece).
• My daughter HATES avocados and she asked for another piece too.
• When my son, who likes avocadoes ONLY in guacamole, had a piece, he also asked for another piece!

Do you see the common trend here? You can’t taste the avocadoes, I promise. The flavor completely disappears leaving you with a rich and creamy chocolate cream pie that won’t leave you feeling guilty if you have an extra serving.

Here’s what you need to make this healthy chocolate cream pie:

• Pie Crust. I used my homemade pie crust recipe, which does require a few minutes in the oven, BUT you can easily use a pre-made graham cracker crust or this graham cracker crust recipe (although I’d reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup).
• Avocados. They need to be ripe, so look for avocados that give way but aren’t “squishy” when you squeeze gently.
• Cocoa Powder. Use what you have – natural cocoa, Dutch-processed cacao, and raw cacao all work.
• Almond Milk. Regular milk or coconut milk can be used as well.
• Maple Syrup + Vanilla Extract + Salt. FLAVOR!!
• Dark Chocolate. Dark chocolate makes this dessert rich and reduces the sugar content, but you can use semi-sweet if you’re in a pinch.

That may seem like a lot of ingredients, but I promise this recipe goes super fast!!

Psst! If you’re going to add salt, I highly recommend Ava Jane’s Kitchen. You may think all salt is created equal, but unfortunately, 90% of the salt produced around the world contains microplastics (gross, right?). Ava Jane’s Kitchen is an exception. Their salt is 100% microplastic free, and it’s SO GOOD! Plus, you can get a bag for just 1¢!! (Get your penny bag of salt on this page.)

How to Make a Chocolate Pie

You’re not going to believe how fast this pie comes together…

Step 1. Make the crust. If you’re using my homemade crust recipe, get that in the oven to pre-bake. It won’t take long and you can make the filling while you wait. If you’re using a graham cracker crust, go ahead and get it done.

Step 2. Prepare the filling. Melt the chocolate and put it along with all the other ingredients in a food processor. That’s it!

Step 3. Fill the pie. When your crust is ready and cool, pour the filling mixture into the crust and smooth it with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 4. Chill (optional). This filling is super thick and you’ll be able to slice into it right away. I personally like to let it chill for about an hour first.

Note: Store this in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container.
