I’m a dietitian and I eat sugar.

True story. No shame.

There are a lot of misconceptions about dietitians and about healthy eating.

One is that dietitians eat “perfectly.” – No such thing

The other is that healthy eating can’t include sugar. – So not true

In fact, an obsession with healthy eating is a serious condition called orthorexia. Not only that, but depriving yourself of something you like is only going to lead you wanting it more. And when that happens, usually a binge follows.

So, as a dietitian, I urge you to make peace with food. Once you do, sugar won’t hold its power over you anymore, and you’ll no longer feel guilty about enjoying it.

When I’m wanting something sweet, I love to make this no-bake Oreo pie. It’s been one of my favorite go-to recipes since I found it last year. If you need a recipe to take to a party, or if you just want to make it for fun, you can’t go wrong. And…no oven required! That means you can involve the kids and make it ahead of time without the stress of trying to time your meal just right. Like these chocolate oatmeal fudge bites, no-bake recipes are just great to have around. Store one in the freezer for those last-minute guests – even if that guest is your own sweet tooth. 😉

I have to credit The First Year Blog for the original recipe that I’ve made a few tweaks to.

Due to required intolerances in our house, I made the whole thing gluten free. (This does not mean it’s “healthy”, “better”, etc. Gluten-free is either a dietary necessity or choice. I’m not promoting gluten-free food for general health.)
I made a homemade whipped cream because the ingredients are so much simpler and it’s just too easy not to. Plus, I think it’s kinda fun!
I reduced the ganache topping by half, because even for a dessert lover like me, it was actually too rich to enjoy. This small change made a big difference in the flavor profile and satisfaction factor.

Now, I get to share it with my chocolate-loving son! I’ve never been one to share my chocolate (or any food for that matter), but I just can’t resist his sweet tooth. He gets it from me, after all!

And yes, I do feed my child sugar! It’s amazing to watch how he regulates it himself since I don’t restrict it.

Passionately,
Alyssa

Cuisine: American

Keyword: easy gluten-free no-bake oreo pie

Servings: 8 people

Ingredients

For the pie:

2 (10.5 oz) packages gluten-free chocolate cookie sandwiches (like Oreos)
1/2 cup butter, melted For nutrition, I recommend the variety made with canola oil
2 (8 oz) packages neufchâtel cheese, softened I prefer this cream cheese for the reduced fat content.
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the whipped cream:

1 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the chocolate ganache:

3/4 cups chocolate chips Ghirardelli 60% Cacao are my favorite!
1/4 cup half and half

Instructions

For the whipped cream: Make this first (Source: Chowhound)

Chill a clean mixing bowl and the beaters (or whisk attachment) in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Add all ingredients to the chilled bowl and mix on high for about 1 minute, until medium peaks form. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

For the pie crust:

Place one package of the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they make fine crumbs. Combine with the melted butter in a bowl, then press mixture evenly into a 10" pie pan. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

For the pie filling:

Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixture in a large bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix again.
Pulse 12 more Oreos in the food processor, this time leaving them as larger chunks. Mix into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula along with the pre-prepared whipped cream. Spread the filling over the pie crust, then freeze for 30 minutes.

For the ganache:

Pour chocolate chips into a small heat-safe bowl.
In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the half and half but don't let it boil. Once it's hot, pour over the chocolate chips. Let stand for about 1 minute, then mix with a spatula until smooth. Once the ganache is at room temperature, spread it evenly over the top of the pie.
Immediately add Oreo topping before the ganache hardens by placing halved Oreos around the edge of the pie pan and crumbles on top.
Cover the pie tightly with aluminum foil and let sit in the refrigerator or freezer for 1-2 hours before serving. Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
