A rich, no-crust chocolate pie with a smooth, fudgy filling that pairs perfectly with whipped cream, ideal for chocolate lovers and easy to prepare for any occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt margarine and chocolate in a pan.
- Mix sugar, eggs, flour, and salt in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a greased pie pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of standard chocolate squares. If you need a dairy-free option, substitute margarine with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved into the mixture to achieve a smooth texture. Also, remember to grease the pie pan well to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the no crust chocolate pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a fruit salad. This dessert is perfect for gatherings, especially alongside American recipes like Preston'S Broccoli Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in an oven at 300°F for 5-10 minutes until just heated through. This will help maintain the pie's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can substitute regular butter for margarine in this recipe. It will add a slightly different flavor profile and richness to the pie. Just ensure that it is melted similarly to the margarine before mixing it with the chocolate.
Is it possible to make this pie gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make this pie gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour. This will maintain the pie's texture while catering to gluten-free diets.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it as oven temperatures can vary.
