Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo or chocolate graham crackers)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Chocolate Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella) or melted chocolate chips

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup M&Ms (regular, peanut, or seasonal varieties)
  • Optional: Whipped cream or melted chocolate drizzle for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
  3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, keeping it light and airy.
  4. Stir in chocolate hazelnut spread (or melted chocolate) until fully incorporated.

3. Assemble the Pie:

  1. Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly.
  2. Smooth the top and tap the pie dish gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

4. Chill the Pie:

  1. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight) until set and firm.

5. Add the Topping:

  1. Once set, arrange M&Ms evenly over the top, pressing them lightly into the filling.
  2. Optional: Pipe whipped cream around the edges or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra flair.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this fun and delicious no-bake pie!

Notes

  • Nut-Free Version: Replace Nutella with melted chocolate for a nut-free option.
  • Extra Chocolatey: Use dark chocolate (70% cacao) for a richer flavor.
  • Prevent Sinking M&Ms: Chill the pie until firm before adding the M&Ms.
  • Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
