Start With an Easy Chocolate Crust

A good pie starts with a great crust, and for this recipe, you’ll be using Oreos and melted butter to create a delicious chocolate cookie crust. To make it, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin. Once the cookies are finely crushed, mix them with melted butter until well combined.

Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a pie dish or in the bottom of a springform pan to create an even crust. The next layer is hot fudge, which adds an extra hit of chocolate flavor and a rich, gooey texture. Yum! Once you’ve spread the hot fudge over the crust, place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

The Secret Ingredient for a Perfect No-Bake Strawberry Pie Filling

The filling of this no-bake pie is where the magic happens. Start by whipping heavy cream and vanilla extract in a bowl until it forms stiff peaks, creating a light and airy homemade whipped cream.

In another bowl, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Once both mixtures are ready, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a luscious and fluffy base.

The next step is to add a can of strawberry pie filling, stirring until everything is well-blended. This combination creates a creamy, slightly tangy and beautifully pink filling that pairs perfectly with the chocolate crust. The pie filling also makes sure that the berries are perfectly sweet, which is something that isn't guaranteed with fresh berries, especially in the winter.

Once everything is mixed, spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and place the pie in the refrigerator for at least six hours to set—overnight is even better!

Glam it Up With a Fun Garnish

For the final touch, garnish the pie with shaved chocolate, fresh strawberries and extra whipped cream before serving. This not only enhances the flavor but also makes the dessert visually stunning—perfect for a romantic Valentine’s Day celebration.

If you’re looking for a show-stopping yet easy-to-make dessert, this no-bake chocolate strawberry pie is the answer. It’s indulgent, bursting with flavor and most importantly, made with love.
