NUTELLA PIE
This Nutella pie is easily one of my very favorite pie recipes on the blog. Anything loaded with Nutella is pretty much a guaranteed hit, right?!
This pie is even better because it's no bake, so easy to make, and you only need 6 ingredients.Â
Cream Cheese - Do yourself a favor and get the regular, full-fat cream cheese
Granulated SugarÂ
Nutella - Basically the best thing on earth!
Vanilla Extract
Cool Whip - I use the easy stuff in the tub but if you're feeling like a rock star then go ahead and make your own whipped cream. It would take this pie from 'minutes to make' to 'not minutes to make', but it would still be delicious. You decide!
Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust - I actually prefer to buy the store bought cracker crusts. They hold up to the pie much better when cutting and they're easy!
Â
CAN I MAKE NUTELLA PIE AHEAD OF TIME?
YES! In fact it needs to be made ahead of time which makes it perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday, or for any sort of gathering. Get this pie made and in the fridge, and it's easily something that you can prepare ahead of time.Â
Any no bake pie needs hours in the refrigerator so it has time to thicken and set up nicely. So please plan ahead, and make sure you make this pie the night before.Â
My general rule is that any pie that is no bake, I make the night before and let it hang out in the fridge overnight and through the next day until I need it.Â
MY HELPFUL TIPS FOR MAKING THIS NO BAKE PIE RECIPE
- Make sure that your cream cheese is softened so that it blends in easily with the granulated sugar. I microwave the cream cheese bars for about 30-40 seconds in the microwave to get them nice and soft. You don't want the cream cheese melted, just really soft.
- Don't worry about the granulated sugar being grainy. I promise it's not. That's why you want the cream cheese soft so that the sugar blends in nicely with it.
- You can make your chocolate crust if that's what you prefer. Just make sure it's a recipe for a 9-inch pie.
- I have not tried this with reduced fat cream cheese. I am not a fan of the reduced fat cream cheese (the taste is a bit off for me) so I don't use it when I bake especially. I would highly recommend sticking with the full-fat, real cream cheese for best taste.
- I always like to save some extra of the top layer (the mixture with the Cool Whip added to it) and then right before serving, I pipe it on top of the pie. This is totally optional!
- If you want to make chocolate shavings it's so easy. Simply buy a Hershey chocolate bar and then use a vegetable peeler to peel down the sides of the chocolate bar. Let the shavings fall on top of the pie.
This no bake Nutella cheesecake cream pie is beyond words delicious. It's so rich and decadent but at the same time it tastes light and fluffy. And if you love Nutella then I just know you will love this pie.Â

- Cover with the enclosed plastic lid (from the pie crust) and let refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Preferably overnight.
- Cut into slices and serve. This pie is rich so I can usually get 10 smaller slices from it. If wanted, decorate the pie with chooclate shavings and/or reserve some of the Cool Whip mix from the pie and pipe it on top of the pie right before serving.
Notes
I made your Nutella no bake pie today. It was very rich and delicious. Everyone loved it. I used an oreo cookie crust. I loved that it was so quick and easy to make. Thank for a great recipe.
So happy to hear this! Yes, it is rich but so yummy. I've noticed that the longer it's in the fridge the less sweet it gets. I love this pie more on day 2 and 3. Love the idea of the Oreo crust, that would definitely up the richness 🙂
Hi! This recipe looks delicious! Question: 2 bars of cream cheese (8oz) its 8 oz in total or each bar?
Thank you!
2 bars that are 8 oz each. So 16 oz total. I will clarify that in the recipe 🙂
I have made this pie twice now and it really does get better with time (if that is possible) it is a very easy yummy pie tonight I drizzled Carmel sauce over the top!
I agree. Any no bake pie gets better and better. So glad you love it and that caramel sounds divine.
Can you make ahead and freeze? If so, how long?
I don't like freezing anything with dairy in it but some people don't mind. So it's just up to you. I would not put the toppings on until right before serving if you do decide to freeze it.
Turned out great! I only had 1 cup of Nutella so I used a 1/4 cup peanut butter instead of the other 1/4 cup Nutella the recipe had called for, then a pretzel crust instead of the graham cracker crust and it was very delicious 😀
This recipe turned out very well ! We made it for Christmas 2020. We placed the mixture into Oreo pie shells!
Looks great! How many jars of Nutella is 1 1/4 cups pls
It is just the standard size jar from the grocery store. Not sure of the size but I am thinking it would be around 16-18 oz.
I made exactly as the recipe stated the first time. While I was eating the perfectly delicious & decadent piece of pie...I had a completely "horrible" idea. The next pie, I made as directed, but split it between 2 pie crusts. Over the bottom layer I'd each pie, I added a half can of cherry pie filling before putting on the top layer. My tongue was ready to smack my brains out it was so good!
Can't spell/type....Over the bottom layer OF each pie.....
Sorry bout that! Lol
