Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pie need to be frozen, and how long before serving should I take it out?
Yes — 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. :)
