Easy Brownie Nutella Pie

This easy brownie Nutella pie uses fudgy brownies for the crust! It is filled with a creamy Nutella pie filling that is no-bake! This pie is topped with a Nutella whipped cream and cinnamon oat crumble. This pie is so easy to make and is SO good!

How To Make Fudgy Brownies

These fudgy brownies are my staple brownie recipe. It makes fudgy brownies with a ton of chocolate chips and crinkle tops. They are AMAZING. This recipe makes them in a 9X13 inch pan first before turning then into a pie crust.

First, you need to use a mixer with a whisk attachment. Beat all of the eggs and the sugar together for 5 minutes. This will make it very light and fluffy.

Since there is no leveling agent, the brownies rise from the air whipped into the eggs. Also, this is what give the brownies their crackled top.

While the brownies are mixing, stir all of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, Make sure the flour and cocoa powder are sifted to avoid any lumps.

Next, mix the rest of the wet ingredients into the whipped eggs. Mix on low so you don't deflate the air in the eggs.

Then, pour all of the dry ingredients into the bowl. Use a rubber spatula to stir gently. Add in all of the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter in the 9X13 inch pan. Bake for 55 minutes.

How To Turn The Brownies Into A Brownie Crust

The key to making the brownies into the crust is to use them while they are still warm. They shouldn't be super hot, but still very warm. Wait 25 minutes after they are done baking.

Use a 9 inch spring form pan and spray well with a baking non-stick spray. To easily remove the crust from the pan, use a 9 inch parchment circle. Then, spray again.

For the crust, only use the middle part of the brownies. You can save the edges for a brownie snack. Leave about an inch of the crust and cut into the middle of the brownies. Use a little at a time and form it onto the bottom and ⅔ up the sides of the pan.

I ended up using kitchen gloves to protect my hands from the heat and to easily use my fingers to mold the brownies.

Let it cool completely before adding the pie filling.

Tips To Make No Bake Nutella Pie Filling

This pie filling is the silkiest filling. It is creamy and tastes like sweet Nutella. Here are tips to make it:

• Use a hand mixer- I prefer using a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese because it gives you more control. You can also use a hand mixer for making the whipped cream, or you can use the stand mixer. (I used the stand mixer)
• Room temperature cream cheese- This is important. To get smooth and creamy pie filling, pull the cream cheese from the fridge 2 hours before using it.
• Sifted powdered sugar- To prevent lumps, make sure the powdered sugar is sifted beforehand.
• Big jar of Nutella- Since we need so much Nutella for this recipe, use the big jar of Nutella. It provides just enough!
• Cold bowl- To whip up the whipped cream, it needs a cold bowl. This keeps the cream cold as it whips up. That means it whips up faster!
• Fold in the whipped cream- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the whipped cream. It takes a few minutes to really blend together, so keep mixing! Gently.

Once the pie filling is made. Pour immediately into the brownie crust. It will need to chill 6 hours or overnight before cutting into it.

Cinnamon Oat Crumble

Since this pie has a creamy filling and whipped cream, it needed some texture. This cinnamon oat crumble is perfect because it applies a lot of flavor and a crunch.

I recommend making this crumble at the same time you make the pie. (Versus waiting until after the pie has chilled.) Allowing the crumble to chill after it's made will harden it slightly.

To make it, mix all of the ingredients together in 1 bowl. Mix it with a fork to really blend it together. Then, place it in the fridge for 15 minutes. This will help solidify the butter.

Next, bake the crumble on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes. Make sure to stir every 5 minutes while it bakes.

Let the crumble cool completely before transferring to an air tight container.

Decorating The Brownie Pie

After the easy brownie Nutella pie has chilled, take off the spring form pan. It will be easy to remove the parchment circle since the base is so sturdy.

Next, top the pie with the Nutella whipped cream. I like to use the back of the spoon to create interesting texture in the whipped cream.

Now, top the pie with crumble and mini chocolate chips! Use as much as you like.

When you serve the pie, I strongly recommend serving each slice with extra crumble on the side. That way every bite can have some texture.

How To Get Perfect Slices Of Pie

Since this is a no bake pie, it can be easy to get messy slices of easy brownie Nutella pie. That is the worst, after all the hard work!

To get a perfect slice, use a sharp clean knife and cut into the pie. After each cut into the pie, clean the knife. A clean knife will give you perfect slices.

How To Store The Pie

This pie has to remain in the fridge if you are not serving. It can melt easily! Store the pie in a cake carrier or cut into slices in an air tight container. It will last up to 5 days in the fridge.
