No-bake Dessert: Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Pie with Mocha Drizzle

Please enjoy this guest post by Milisa Armstrong of Miss in the Kitchen.

Chocolate pie is my favorite kind of pie but I don’t make it very often. Traditional chocolate cream pie takes a little time in the kitchen and then about 4 hours of chilling time. It is so hard for me to wait 4 hours for pie!

Today I’m sharing my new favorite chocolate pie with you. It is ready to eat in less than 20 minutes and you don’t even have to turn the oven on. It’s rich and decadent and the mocha drizzle gives it a little extra kick. I think chocolate and coffee were made for each other.

This is a perfect no-bake summer dessert. Just a few zaps of the microwave to melt the chocolate so you have very little cooking time and no heating up your kitchen. Plus it uses just a few simple ingredients that you likely have on hand. Now that’s hard to beat.

My family has a scale to help me measure the success of a new recipe. It ranges from okay, to good, to really good, and best thing I ever ate. This pie garnered the best thing I ever ate category!

Whether you serve this pie as a weeknight dessert or at your next neighborhood barbecue, it is sure to be a hit.
