Ingredients
Method
Step-by-Step
- If making the homemade crust, combine 24 finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and chill for about 30 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the Nutella, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is fully combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no white streaks remain, taking care not to overmix.
- Spread the filling evenly into the prepared 9-inch crust.
- Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice. Overnight chilling is also an excellent option.
- Serve cold with optional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chopped hazelnuts, or a light Nutella drizzle.
Notes
Use fully softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Fold in the whipped topping gently to preserve the airy texture. For especially clean slices, chill overnight or place the pie in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes just before serving.
