No Bake Pumpkin Chocolate Pie

By tinathorn

Quick and easy, this chocolate pumpkin pie is 'no bake' which means you don't heat up the house and it doesn't take oven space when you are cooking a big meal.

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) can pureed pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• Optional: sweetener (Taste first. I thought it was sweet enough without additional sweetener.)

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave), then throw the melted chocolate and all of the other ingredients into a food processor and blend until it is super-smooth.

Pour into a pie crust and fridge until chilled. This pie gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits.
