Here’s a simple recipe for a No-Bake Chocolate M&M Pie using your ingredients:
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (Oreos or graham crackers)
- ½ cup melted butter
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
For the Topping:
- 1 cup M&M’s (for decoration)
- Whipped cream (optional, for extra garnish)
Instructions:
1. Make the crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies (Oreos or graham crackers) with the melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack it down tightly.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up.
2. Prepare the chocolate filling:
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the pie:
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the chilled cookie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Return the pie to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours or until the filling is set.
4. Top with M&M’s:
- Once the pie has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Sprinkle M&M’s generously over the top for a colorful and festive look.
- Optionally, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra creaminess.
5. Serve:
- Slice and serve your delicious No-Bake Chocolate M&M Pie chilled. Enjoy!
Tips:
- If you prefer a slightly firmer filling, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the heavy cream before heating it.
- For extra flavor, you can use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips.
- If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought cookie crusts, but homemade is always better!
Enjoy your no-bake chocolate treat!
