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!)
Apple cranberry streusel pie, and possibly this pie, too-it looks amazing!
Mmmm this looks amazing, Katie!
I’m just going with a good ole’ pumpkin pie – can’t be beat 😀
Yay! I’m so glad you posted this! I can’t wait to try it. Even though our Thanksgiving in Canada has happened already haha. Meh – I don’t need a reason to make a pumpkin pie, I just will 😉
Chocolate pumpkin pie…Oh My!
Brilliant!! Our Thanksgiving was over a month ago, but that doesn’t mean pumpkin season is over! Pumpkin is a year-round food in our house. Mmmm… I cannot wait to try this!
Oh my gosh, do want!! Chocolate Pumpkin Pie sounds (and looks!!) AH-MAZING!! 😀
I love the simplicity of this recipe. I think it would be great sans crust, too! 🙂
I’m eating Thankgiving tonight actually, as I’m traveling in Europe and we are celebrating a little early.. chicken, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, and creamed onions… all the classics for the most part!
That looks delish! Our thanksgiving is always a huge feast. We are having a couple of families who are our close friends over. so LOTSA food to make and desserts to bake! 3 types of pie, the regular spread with some twists and a lot of desserts beside. I can’t wait! Countdown begins now! Now to get back to the 4 crazy days of thanksgiving.
P.S. What are you doing for thanksgiving Katie? (if you dont mind me asking that is)
I’m not exactly sure yet! My old college roommie is coming into town, though, so I’m excited to see her :).
Yams for sure! We peel the yams, slice them into circles, and layer them in a large dish. Then we squeeze juice from a lemon or two on the sliced yams, cover the dish in foil, and bake untill tender. It is so good, and SO much better than the traditional, brown sugar and marshmallowy sweet potato casserole.
So yams, homemade mashed potatoes (or little baked Yukons… don’t know yet), cornbread stuffing (it’s for my family, because it is not vegan), dinner rolls, a sallad, homemade cranberry sauce, Green bean casserol (not vegan, my grandma is making it), a Turkey for the family, crackers, cheeses (sigh…), pumpkin pie, apple crisp, sugar cookies, and “whip” cream.
I’m so excited for the yams! 🙂
Oh Katie, you have done it again! I can’t wait to try this…it may just be tonight, just because! I imagine that two of my favorite things (chocolate and pumpkin) together like this will be dreamy!
wow that looks like real pumpkin pie, and by real I just mean one without chocolate. crazy! looks good.
This looks so simple and delicious! Perfect for a last minute Thanksgiving dessert!
I make pumpkin pie every year with an amaretto whipped cream. Also, homemade low-sugar cranberry sauce, which is delicious ( my family was so used to the canned sauce, but now I am changing their minds!)
Hope you have a happy holiday!!
I love how perfectly simple this is!
Love it! I’m definitely going to try this. Maybe a mini version.
Our thanksgiving is just 2 of us, and we are moving, so probably nothing crazy on our menu 🙂
I love mini versions of things! 😛 Great idea!
