4 Things You’ll Love About This No-Bake Hazelnut Dessert
- Chocolate + Hazelnut Goodness – There is something so wonderful about the pairing of bright and tangy raspberries with rich chocolate! They bring out all the good things in each other and have been put together in desserts across the world for very good reasons. Add in that hazelnut goodness and this is truly one of the best pies EVER.
- No-Bake (SO EASY) – Neither the crust nor the filling has to bake. That means you just press the crust into the pie pan, add the ganache-like filling, and pop it in the freezer. Zero pressure to get a perfectly done crust or fully cooked pie filling with this one. You can’t mess it up, I promise!
- Versatile – Don’t love raspberries? I have several other topping ideas below! Make it gluten-free simply by using gluten-free graham crackers. Use a store-bought graham crust to make it even easier.
- Nutella (Need I say more??) – Creamy and rich, Nutella (or this Hazelnut Spread, which is my personal favorite) is the perfect balance of sweet chocolatey flavor with a nuttiness that makes it just dreamy. It’s liked so much that anytime I make a treat with it, it becomes an instant favorite. This recipe is no exception.

Ingredients In Hazelnut Pie
No-Bake Crust
- Graham Crackers – Any kind of graham crackers will do, but you can easily make this recipe gluten-free by using an equal amount of gluten-free graham crackers. I love the combination of the graham cracker flavor with the almond flour and you will, too!
- Almond Flour – Almond flour works really well for the crust when combined with the graham cracker crumbs. It keeps it from getting too crunchy in the freezer and adds a delicious nutty flavor.
- Coconut Oil – The coconut oil bonds the crust together and when it gets cold, it holds firm, meaning the crust isn’t crumbly and won’t break easily.
- Maple Syrup – This is completely optional but I like to make the crust just a bit sweet and it helps perfectly balance the Cocoa powder.
- Cocoa Powder – Rich, deep cocoa flavor throughout the crust compliments the rest of the pie beautifully.
Hazelnut Pie Filling
- Nutella – Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread that is creamy, rich, and really unique in flavor. I love the Chosen Foods version for a healthier alternative!
- Coconut Oil – The coconut oil again helps to bond everything together and helps firm up the filling when it’s cold.
- Coconut Milk – Use canned unsweetened coconut milk in the filling. It can usually be found in the international foods aisle of your local grocery store.
- Vanilla – Just a bit of the vanilla extract brings out all of the flavors in the pie.
Raspberry Drizzle (Optional)
- Raspberries – I like to use frozen raspberries for things like this. They’re easy to work with, it doesn’t matter if they’re broken into little pieces, and they last a long time in the freezer.
- Maple Syrup – Raspberries are very tart so the syrup helps balance and sweeten the drizzle. You can also sweeten it with regular white sugar for a thicker sauce!
How to Make Raspberry Chocolate Hazelnut Pie
You won’t believe how really easy it is to make this no-bake chocolate pie recipe! Just prep the crust and filling in 20 minutes, then place in the freezer for 2 hours (or up to overnight). Here’s how to make the BEST Raspberry Chocolate Hazelnut Pie:
- Blend the graham cracks until fine, then add the remaining crust ingredients and mix.
- Press the crust into a 9″ pie pan until even and firm.
- Blend the filling ingredients and pour it into the crust. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Cook the sauce in a saucepan, smashing the berries, until thick.
- Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh strainer and allow it to cool.
- Cut and serve the pie directly from the freezer, topping with the sauce, walnuts, and fresh raspberries.
