Makes: 6-8 Servings

Prep Time: 60 Minutes
Chill Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients:

1 Premade Raw Pie Crust

1 Cup Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

1 8oz Package of Cream Cheese, room temperature

1 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 8oz container of Whipped Topping

 

Featured Products: 

Fiesta Pie Baking Dish

RSVP Pie Weights

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer

Tovolo Flex-Core Spatula 

Directions:

Step 1
Bake the pie crust itself in a pie dish according to manufacturer's directions - This is known as "blind baking" the pie crust. You can add in a pie weight like this one from RSVP - in a pinch, you can use dried beans as a pie weight. Pie weights prevent the pie crust from forming bubbles during baking.

Step 2
In a stand mixer, beat the Nutella with the cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

Step 3
Remove the bowl and paddle attachment from the mixer. Add in the whipped topping and gently fold into the Nutella mixture until smooth and combined, scraping the sides and bottom as needed. This is the filling for your Nutella pie.

 

Step 4
Pour the Nutella pie filling into the crust, leveling out the top with a spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

 

Step 5
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired before serving. 

Chef Note: Try making a peanut butter chiffon pie - replace the Nutella in this recipe with equal parts creamy peanut butter. Drizzle with plenty of chocolate syrup!
