    What Ingredients Are Needed

    To make this super easy, no bake strawberry chocolate pie, you'll need the following ingredients!

    For the pie crust:

    • Diamond of California® Chocolate Nut Crust. Made with walnuts, pecans, and real cocoa, this pie crust is now one of my favorites! It's buttery, doesn't crumble easily like other ready made pie crusts, and compliments the strawberry pie filling wonderfully!

    For the chocolate ganache layer:

    • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. Good quality chocolate is recommended here!
    • Heavy Whipping Cream. Only a little is needed to give this ganache its creamy texture.
    • Vanilla Extract. The perfect flavor to help round out the others! Pure vanilla extract is best.

    For the strawberry pie filling:

    • Unflavored Gelatin Powder + Water. You'll need one packet of the unflavored gelatin for this recipe along with 2 tablespoons of cold water and 2 tablespoons of hot, boiling water. This will help thicken and set your strawberry pie filling.
    • Cream Cheese. Only 1, 8 ounce block is needed, but make sure it is full fat and now low fat cream cheese.
    • Lucky Leaf® Strawberry Pie Filling. One of the star ingredients to this recipe! It's made using 30% more fruit than other fruit pie fillings and does not contain any high fructose corn syrup. You'll use ⅔ cup of this for the pie filling, with the remaining amount used for topping!
    • Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk. No artificial ingredients and helps to give this strawberry pie filling just the right amount of creaminess and sweetness too!
    • Lemon Juice. Helps to thicken this super easy no bake strawberry chocolate pie!
    • Vanilla Extract. Same as above!

    And for the garnish:

    • Strawberry Pie Filling. You will use the remaining amount of what's left from what you used above in the strawberry pie filling mixture!
    • Whipped Cream. Or you can used a thawed container of whipped topping!
    • Chocolate Curls. Can be store bought or you can learn how to make them in my easy chocolate curls tutorial!

    Substitutions

    Pie Filling. You can easily sub out the Lucky Leaf® strawberry pie filling for their cherry pie filling—or whatever flavor pie filling you fancy!

    Chocolate Chips. You can swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or you can use a good quality bar of chocolate.

    If using a bar of chocolate, break it up into small pieces before adding the hot heavy whipping cream.

    You can also eliminate the chocolate ganache layer entirely from this recipe!

    Pie Crusts. Another easy swap for this no bake strawberry chocolate pie recipe—the pie crust! You can also try this recipe using Diamond of California® Pecan Pie Crust or their Walnut Pie Crust.

    Let's Make This Super Easy No Bake Strawberry Chocolate Pie!

    Here is a slimmed down version on how to make this super easy no bake strawberry chocolate pie recipe! Scroll down for the full recipe.

    Make the Chocolate Ganache. It's best to use a small glass heat proof bowl for this part. Good quality chocolate—whether it is chocolate chips or a bar of chocolate—is important.

    Heat the heavy whipping cream in another heat proof bowl or measuring cup in the microwave. One minute, 15 seconds does the trick for me. This gets poured over the top of the chocolate, then cover it lightly with aluminum foil. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk together slowly.

    If you need to reheat it, do so for only 15 seconds, then whisk again.

    Spread the ganache into the pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the ganache onto the sides and bottom evenly of the Diamond of California® chocolate nut pie crust. When done place it in the freezer to chill for 15-30 minutes until it's set.

    Usually by the time I am done mixing together the strawberry pie filling, it's ready to go!

    Prepare the unflavored gelatin. I recommend using a glass, heat proof measuring cup for this part. Add 2 tablespoons of cold water to the glass measuring cup, then whisk in the gelatin powder.

    Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then mix in the 2 tablespoons of boiling hot water. Heat for 15-20 seconds in the microwave at full power. The gelatin should be full dissolved at this point. If not, continue to microwave for 15 seconds on high until it is.

    Set it to the side to cool down while you make the strawberry pie filling.

    Make the strawberry pie filling. You can use either stand mixer or hand mixer for this part. I found the hand mixer to be easier and was quicker to clean up.

    Beat the cream cheese first for about 5-6 minutes until it's light and fluffy. Make sure you are using full fat, softened cream cheese.

    Add in the Eagle Brand® sweetened condensed milk, ⅔ cup of the Lucky Leaf® strawberry pie filling, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and the unflavored gelatin mixture. Mix it all together until it is well blended.

    Chill the strawberry chocolate pie. This is best done in the refrigerator for 6 hours or, my preference, overnight. This will give it plenty of time to set. It can also be kept uncovered while it chills.

    Garnish. Using a spoon, add your remaining strawberry pie filling to the top. Top with some whipped cream (or thawed whipped topping) and some chocolate curls.

    Then enjoy!

    No Bake Pie FAQs

    Can I leave the gelatin out?

    I don't recommend doing this, no. Without the gelatin, it will be hard for the pie to set leaving you with a soupy mess.

    What other pie filling flavors can I use with this recipe?

    For a chocolate covered cherry taste, I recommend trying it with Lucky Leaf® cherry pie filling!

    Do I have to include the chocolate ganache layer?

    Nope! This is an optional layer that can easily be left out.

    Why do you recommend using only full fat cream cheese?

    Full fat cream cheese mixes well with the other ingredients used in this recipe. It also does a better job when the pie is chilling and setting.

    Why is there no granulated sugar used in this recipe?

    Using the strawberry pie filling and sweetened condensed milk gives this no bake strawberry chocolate pie filling the perfect level of sweetness.

    What is the best way to store the remaining strawberry pie filling?

    I recommend spooning the remaining amount into a well sealed container then refrigerate until ready to use as the topping.
