No bake chocolate pie is rich, creamy, and easy to make with just six ingredients. A fluffy, chocolate filling on a simple homemade Oreo cookie crust, if you like chocolate, this is a must make dessert.

My love of chocolate runs deep, so naturally this chocolate Cool Whip pie is on repeat at our house. It has the most delightful light and fluffy texture, delicious chocolate flavor, and the homemade Oreo crust really takes it to the next level.

I’ve made this no bake chocolate pie in a traditional pie dish and an 8 x 8 baking dish. Either one works great. The key to success is making sure to chill the crust and then giving the pie plenty of time to chill in the refrigerator.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Line the baking dish with parchment paper. You don’t have to do this, but if you are preparing this in an 8 x 8 dish, lining it with parchment paper makes it easier to lift out and cut into pieces.
• Use softened cream cheese. This is very important because you want the cream cheese to be smooth when it’s mixed.
• Crush the cookies finely for the crust. This will help the crust stay together.
• Chill the crust before adding the filling. This helps the crust bind together.
• Run your knife under warm water and then wipe dry before slicing. It will help make nice, neat pieces.
