EDIT:

I finally have a Pumpkin Pinterest Board!

What does chocolate + pumpkin equal?

Anyone?

Anyone?

One incredibly-delicious dessert, that’s what.

And it’s gluten-free!

No-Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

  • 15 oz pureed pumpkin (or 1 can)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp cocoa powder
  • level 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • sweetener of choice, to taste

Instructions

Melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave), then throw everything into a food processor and blend until it is super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust and fridge until chilled. This pie gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits. Perhaps you could try baking this, too. If anyone does, I’d love to hear how it works. I was too lazy (read: too greedy and hungry) to take the time to bake mine, so I was happy it worked as a no-bake pie!

Highly recommended: top with *Homemade Cool Whip*

What’s on your Thanksgiving menu?

I might make apple pie, or my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars.

Or I might just make both. Then I won’t feel bad if all the addictive oatmeal-raisin bars happen to disappear before they get to the Thanksgiving table. I can’t resist those darn bars! (I might also make pecan pie… I really don’t know yet!)

    Loved this! Made it last minute with my 7year old as a dessert for a dinner party and it was amazing!

  2. Tia says:

    Oh my! Ever since I discovered you yesterday I have been thoroughly tickled! haha it kills me when people say that.
    But I can npt have: sugar or sugar subs, white flour, or dairy among MANY other things

    And this is JUST what I was looking for! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    I made this last night and was not planning to bake it but had a little mishap. I forgot to pre-bake the pie crust- so I had this pumpkin/chocolate mixture in a raw crust. So, I baked the pie for about 50 minutes on 350 degrees and then chilled it over night. It came out GREAT. The consistency is a bit firmer than a traditional pumpkin pie- almost fudgey. It tastes delicious and holds up really well. Love it.

    This actually does look amazing! looking forward to do it this year for thanksgiving. By the way, if I do buy pumpkin, do I just boil it(no salt added no nothing)? and then blend it with the rest of the stuff? (probably sounds silly, but i don’t eat pumpkin so i have no idea what to do with it :O :D)

      Yes, or roasting it is even better.

  5. Lily says:

    what kind of crust did you use?

    1. Unofficial CCK Helper says:

      She says you can use any crust. I know she also has a recipe on here for a healthier graham cracker pie crust, so maybe try that.

  6. Kimberly says:

    Hi Katie! I was reading through your recipe and love it because it’s gluten free, but you don’t mention where we can the gluten free pie crust. Can you please tell me where I can get it?

  7. Deanna says:

    What If you add pumpkin pie spice to this?

  8. Laura says:

    I just whipped up a quarter of this recipe then poured over your ridiculously-easy-choco-pie-crust (into 4 small ramekins). OMG it was soooo good. 2 nights ago made the somoa balls, which were also amazing. I really enjoy being able to whip up something quick and delicious after work, and after making dinner. I found out recently that I have food allergies (gluten, dairy/casein, eggs, some nuts), so I was so happy to find your blog. Thank you so much… Love your blog

    Hi Katie, I posted your picture and recipe for this fun pie on my blog post. I put two direct links to your website. If this is a problem, let me know and I will delete them. Also pinned it to my pinerest! twe

    Do you think it would work with dark chocolate chips? You know, for a little added benefit.
