No-Bake Triple Chocolate Sundae Pie Recipe Ingredients

Crust

• 4 Tbsp. salted butter, cubed, plus more for the pie plate
• 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
• 2 1/2 cups chocolate puffed rice cereal (such as Cocoa Krispies)

Filling and Toppings

• 2 cups chocolate ice cream
• 2 cups vanilla bean ice cream
• 1/2 cup jarred chocolate fudge sauce
• Whipped cream or thawed frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), for garnish
• Maraschino cherries, for garnish

How To Make No-Bake Triple Chocolate Sundae Pie Recipe

1. Make the crust: Butter a 9-inch pie plate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup together. In a medium bowl, combine the rice cereal and the melted chocolate mixture and stir well.
2. Form and chill the crust: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie plate. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the cereal and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
3. Create the first layer: Allow the chocolate ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 5 minutes until spreadable. Spread the ice cream in an even layer over the prepared crust and freeze, uncovered, for 30 minutes until firm.
4. Create the second layer: Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Spread it in an even layer over the chocolate ice cream and freeze, uncovered, for another 30 minutes until firm.
5. Add the fudge and freeze: Warm the fudge sauce in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until it’s spreadable but not hot. Quickly spread it in an even layer over the pie. Freeze, uncovered, for at least 3 hours, or up to a week, until completely solid.
6. Garnish and serve: Just before serving, pipe or dollop whipped cream around the edge of the pie and garnish with maraschino cherries.

Recipe Tips

• How to get a non-soggy crust? The chocolate mixture acts as a barrier, but freezing the crust for a full 20 minutes is the key. This helps it firm up completely and creates a solid base that won’t get soft.
• Can I make this pie ahead of time? Absolutely! This is the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can assemble the entire pie and keep it well-covered in the freezer for up to a week before serving.
• How do I soften the ice cream properly? The best way to soften ice cream is to let it sit on the counter for about 5-10 minutes until it’s spreadable but not completely melted. Avoid using the microwave, as it can melt the ice cream unevenly.
• How do I spread the fudge layer easily? The key is to work quickly. Have your pie completely frozen and your fudge sauce just barely warm and pourable. This will allow you to spread it into a thin, even layer before it starts to re-freeze the ice cream underneath.
