This No Bake Rocky Road Pie is a delightful and creamy dessert featuring a graham cracker crust filled with chocolate pudding, whipped topping, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and roasted almonds. Perfect for warm days or quick dessert fixes, this pie freezes to a luscious, frozen treat with classic rocky road flavors.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups half and half cream
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) envelope instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup miniature marshmallows
  • ½ cup chopped roasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust. In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Melt the butter and stir it into the crumb mixture until evenly combined. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
  2. Make the pudding filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the half and half cream and instant chocolate pudding mix for about 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and begins to thicken.
  3. Mix in the toppings. Gently fold the whipped topping, semisweet chocolate chips, miniature marshmallows, and chopped roasted almonds into the pudding mixture until evenly distributed.
  4. Assemble the pie. Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Freeze the pie. Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 6 hours or until firm.
  6. Garnish and serve. Before serving, optionally drizzle with melted chocolate chips and sprinkle additional marshmallows, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips on top. Slice and enjoy your frozen rocky road pie!

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, omit the roasted almonds or substitute with chopped pretzels for crunch.
  • If you prefer a richer crust, use browned butter instead of regular melted butter.
  • The pie needs to freeze for at least 6 hours to ensure it sets properly; for best texture, prepare it the day before serving.
  • To make the garnishing drizzle, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between.
  • Use full-fat half and half or heavy cream for a creamier filling, but low-fat half and half works as well for a lighter dessert.
