Chocolate Blender Pie
A rich, creamy chocolate pie made in a blender with simple ingredients, perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings and ideal for quick, delicious desserts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the chocolate bits, egg, vanilla, sugar, and scalded milk in a blender for 1 minute on low speed.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker pie crust or baked pie shell.
- Refrigerate until the filling is firm.
- Top with whipped cream before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate bits instead of semi-sweet. If you're looking to make this dessert sugar-free, you can substitute the sugar with a sugar alternative suitable for baking. Make sure to blend the mixture thoroughly to ensure a smooth texture. If you prefer a more decadent topping, try adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on the whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for the best texture and flavor. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream and can be complemented with fresh berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, for a fruity contrast. For an impressive brunch dish, consider serving it alongside a light salad or a slice of Sliced Turkey Breast to balance the richness of the chocolate.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Chocolate Blender Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its freshness, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If you want to serve it chilled, simply slice and enjoy straight from the fridge. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture of the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of pie crust?
Yes, you can use a traditional pie crust or even a cookie crust, like Oreo or digestive biscuits, for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the crust is pre-baked if required by the recipe for best results.
How long should I refrigerate the pie?
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours or until the filling is firm. This will ensure that the pie sets properly and is easy to slice. If you have more time, letting it chill overnight can enhance the flavors.
Can I make this pie dairy-free?
Yes, you can make a dairy-free version by using dairy-free chocolate bits and a plant-based milk alternative, such as almond or coconut milk. Just be sure to check the labels to avoid any hidden dairy ingredients.
