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!)
hi katie what kind of pie crust did you use?:)
Store-bought.
I just attempted this substituting dark chocolate chips and adding 1/2 cup of splenda, but I totally forgot the salt…hope it comes out okay! Any suggestions for the modifications I used?
Oh yeah, I am so hopping on this pumpkin nummyness train! Although I must already be on it last week I made pumkin spice Icecream, lastnight I made Pumpkin hot chocolate & This morning had a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake…WOW I didn’t realize until just now that I might be obsessed… lol Thanks for the recipe Katie 🙂
Hi Katie! I’m a student who lives in a dorm room without an oven or stove at my disposal. I’m so grateful that many of your desserts don’t require either! This recipe is next on my to-make list. Thank you so much for supplying recipes that allow me to keep doing what I love despite having limited resources. I truly appreciate it!
P.S. I bought a mini food processor just so I can make your recipes. 🙂
Update: I made this pie with a gingersnap crust for my friends and myself (in my dorm room, so it must be easy to make), and everyone LOVES it! I have requests for more. Thanks, Katie!
Thank you for trying it!
This recipe looks great! I want to try it for a halloween party, do you think it would taste good with an oreo crust or chocolate crust? (So it would be black and orange!)
I was really looking forward to making this! It came out more like chocolate pudding though…and it looks like chocolate pudding pie. You can hardly even taste the pumpkin. I know it must have been something I did wrong though so I guess maybe next time it might not need cocoa powder. It’s chocolatey enough without it. Getting your recipes wrong is always so discouraging 🙁
What would happen if I replaced the melted chocolate altogether with peanut butter…? (I just loove peanut butter & pumpkin together!)
I LOVE all of your simple, gluten-free recipes. I can’t tell you how great it is being able to follow a recipe with recognizable ingredients that doesn’t require me to substitute anything! And they all turn out fabulously 🙂 Can’t wait to try this!
Hey Katie, this sounds delish! Do you have any recipes for a pie crust with no wheat?
Hi Katie! I want to make this pie but I want to put it in a crust and it needs to be gluten free. Any suggestions? Also do u have suggestions on baking time and temp? I want to give that a try. Thanks, have a happy thanksgiving.
How about an almond meal crust?
That’s maddie, I’ll look it up!
I tried this, not so good, choc took away from the taste of the pumpkin and not sweet enough
It says in the recipe instructions to add extra sweetener if it’s not sweet enough.
Hi I just wanted to say what a huge fan of your I am. Love your site. I have mentioned your website a couple of times on my blogs! If you ever want to check it out, mamabearsblogs.wordpress.com
Again you rock and such a huge fan!!
I’ll be sure to check it out!
Thank you! I’m a new reader and your site is great for our milk-allergy lifestyle. I made this with your graham cracker crust. My son’s first pumpkin pie ever. He definitely wants it for THanksgiving. 🙂
I’m trying this for Thanksgiving this year. It looks super yummy! However, I don’t care for unbaked pumpkin, so I am baking it. Hopefully it will turn out delicious. It definitely smells amazing at this moment! Maybe I can wait until it cools off to eat it… 🙂
Just wanted to let you know I baked the pies about 45 minutes, or until they started to crack around the edges a bit (like a cheesecake often does). We took them to my parents-in-law’s for Thanksgiving, and they were a huge hit! The texture was like fudge, the taste was absolutely delicious, and they even got better and better the longer they sat in the fridge (after 4 days, the two pies were gone!). I used Ghirardelli bittersweet chips, chocolate graham cracker crusts, and topped the pies with whipped topping. I DEFINITELY will be making these pies again! Thanks, Katie!!
I just made this & put it in the fridge to chill, I was wondering, should I cover it or leave it uncovered? Thanks! So far it tastes DELISH btw 🙂
I leave it uncovered,
Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!!
My boyfriends parents have have strict special diets for health reasons (vegan, no sugar, little to no oil) and so they eat a lot of the same “safe” boring foods. Your site has been so helpful in showing them that they can eat delicious food that fits into thier diet. I made this pie with no sugar added chocolate and made your easy chocolate pie crust for them. They said they couldn’t remember the last tie they had dessert and couldn’t believe that it fit in with their dietary restrictions! On top of that it was so easy! Thanks again Katie!
