Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pie need to be frozen, and how long before serving should I take it out?
Yes — the instructions say to pour the filling into the chocolate wafer crust and freeze until solid. Remove it from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly to a sliceable consistency.
Why fold the whipped cream in thirds rather than all at once?
Folding the 2 cups of heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks) into the Nutella-cream cheese mixture in three additions keeps air in the filling, giving the pie a light, mousse-like texture rather than a dense, heavy slab once frozen.
Thank you so much!! This pie is so easy to make for such a high visual impact dessert.
Gorgeous! This looks SO delicious. :)
