Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store chocolate no bake pie?
If you have pie leftovers that you need to store for the next day you can loosely cover your pie with plastic wrap or transfer it to a large enough air-tight container and store it in the fridge.
I always prefer storing it without the whipped cream on top, but it’s okay if you can’t do that since these are leftovers.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this one day ahead of time.
If you want to make your no-bake chocolate pie in advance you can prepare it as per the direction of the recipe, without adding the whipped cream topping, cover with plastic wrap, and while in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Top it with the freshly made whipped cream once you’re ready to serve it.
Can I freeze a no-bake chocolate pie?
Yes!
You can freeze this pie without the whipped cream topping. Wrap it with plastic wrap then cover it with foil to keep it from getting freezer burn. You can store your pie this way for up to one month.
When you’re ready to enjoy it pull it out of the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight.

This pie was such a hit at Thanksgiving! Super easy to make and I had extra chocolate ganache that I’ve been using as a spread on toast. Will be making this again soon =)

This is HONESTLY AMAZING! I am currently eating a slice while I’m typing this. I ended up making my own oreo pie crust but everything else was from this recipe and it is just so good! Its creamy and the chocolate-y taste is just enough, not too much. Really, really easy to make. I don’t know if it mentions but it helps to keep the mixing bowl and whisk attachment (I used a hand mixer) in the refrigerator to keep everything cold before you start whipping the heavy cream.

Thank you so much for trying this no-bake chocolate pie, Ingrid. Thank you even more for such a thorough review! Glad to hear you loved it 🙂
