No Bake Hot Chocolate Pie
No Bake Hot Chocolate Pie has an Oreo cookie crust, a hot cocoa cream pie filling, and it's topped with homemade marshmallow whipped cream. It tastes like a cozy cup of hot cocoa in a no bake cream pie.
Equipment

Oreo Crust
- 25 Oreos
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter melted

- 1 bar (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 packet (1 oz) hot chocolate mix (2 tablespoons dry mix)

Instructions
Make The Oreo Crust
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish with shortening or butter. Set aside.
- Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and run at high speed to crush up the cookies into fine crumbs. Decrease the speed to low, and slowly pour in the melted butter. Stir the crumbs to make sure the crumbs are evenly coated in the butter.25 Oreos, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish. Place the crust in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Make The Hot Chocolate Pie Filling
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and hot chocolate mix until smooth and creamy.1 bar (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 packet (1 oz) hot chocolate mix
- Melt the chocolate baking bar in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package directions. Add the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture and beat until combined.*You don't want the chocolate to be like lava hot, so melt it just until it's smooth and melted. If it seems really hot let it sit at room temperature for a bit before adding it in.1 bar (4 oz) semi-sweet chocolate baking bar
- Add in the thawed Cool Whip and mix gently with a wooden spoon, or mix on low speed, just until thoroughly combined.8 ounces Cool Whip
Make The Marshmallow Whipped Cream
- In a separate large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the marshmallow cream and heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Start at low speed and increase the speed as needed to avoid splashing.*It won't be like a super stiff whipped cream but rather softer peaks that keep their shape.1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream, 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Assemble The Pie, Refrigerate, & Serve
- Spread the hot chocolate pie filling mixture into the Oreo crust and spread it out evenly. Then carefully spoon and spread the marshmallow whipped cream over top to form a second layer.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap, or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Top the pie with chocolate shavings and mini marshmallows. Serve chilled from the fridge. Enjoy!chocolate shavings
Notes
- The marshmallow hipped cream won't stiffen up like regular whipped cream. Be careful to not over-mix it or else it will start to separate. The peaks on the whipped cream should be softer peaks, and they'll never be stiff peaks like with regular whipped cream. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes of whipping the mixture to get those soft peaks.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature - this will ensure that the cream cheese mixture is smooth and lump-free. Cold cream cheese won't mix in well and instead leaves little lumps in the mixture. Set the cream cheese out at room temperature for 2 hours before using.
- You'll want the melted chocolate to be closer to room temperature (aka - not lava hot) before mixing it into the cream cheese mixture.
- To make chocolate shavings simply buy a Hershey's milk chocolate bar and use a vegetable peeler to peel the sides of the chocolate bar. This will create perfect chocolate curl shavings.
