This rich, decadent gluten free chocolate fudge pie has it all: thick chocolate, light raspberries, and a very creamy center. The is the perfect easy, no-bake gluten free dessert!

Fudge! There are all kinds of fudge and they are all pretty spectacular!

But triple layer chocolate fudge pie? Now that takes the icing on any fudge pie! And whether you like berries or not, this pie is going to rock your world.

I wanted to make something festive. At the time of writing this, we are going strong into the Holiday season and I wanted something cheery, yet chocolate. Making chocolate cheery isn’t the easiest in the world. I mean, chocolate will make YOU cheery the moment you bite into it. But making the dessert itself appear cheery is another story. Or maybe that is just something us food bloggers worry about. Who else worries about cheery food?

Anyway…. Enter raspberries!

Bright colored raspberries can cheer anything up! It’s no secret that I’m not a huge berry fan, but I do quite enjoy the taste of raspberries. And if it is paired with chocolate, I’m sold.

Is the Cookie Crust Gluten Free?

It sure is gluten free! It uses cookie crumbs so the sky is the limit as to which ones you choose.

You could use chocolate gluten free graham crackers, chocolate wafers, chocolate cookies and even those Annie’s bunnies (the vanilla and cocoa ones are gluten free, just know your crust will be a little lighter but that’s ok).

Can I Use Other Berries?

Most definitely! You could use pretty much any berry. I’m not 100% sold on blueberries, but you could use raspberries, blackberries, and even strawberries.

As I said, I’m not a huge berry fan, but when I DO eat them, I usually choose raspberries.

Toppings for Chocolate Fudge Pie

Here is where YOU get to have some fun! Does it even NEED a topping? Nope – it sure doesn’t!

I have 3 favorite toppings that I like to use, however:

Homemade Whipped Cream

Chocolate Chips

Raspberries

Or even all three at once!
