Step-by-step
- In bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and Nutella until blended.
- On medium-high speed, beat 1 1/3 cups cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold into chocolate mixture.
- Stir chopped candy bars into mousse mixture.
- Transfer 2 cups to a freezer-proof bowl.
- Spread remaining mixture in pie crust; freeze pie and reserved filling for 1 hour.
- Mound reserved filling over top of pie.
- Cover pie; freeze until filling is set, about 8 hours.
- On medium high speed, beat remaining 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form.
- Spread whipped cream over pie.
- If desired, garnish with additional sliced candy bars.
Operating without a stove requires strict reliance on mechanical aeration to build structure in a frozen dessert. Heavy cream whipped to soft peaks incorporates air cells that keep the dense combination of sweetened condensed milk and chocolate-hazelnut spread from freezing into a solid block. Whip the 1 1/3 cups of dairy on medium-high speed until the beaters leave distinct trails, then fold gently to preserve those trapped air bubbles before transferring the base to the crust.
Temperature management dictates the final presentation. Freezing the initial layer for exactly one hour creates a stable foundation, allowing the reserved two cups of filling to sit proudly on top without sinking into the base. Allow the assembled dessert to cure in the freezer for the full eight hours so the fat molecules solidify properly, yielding clean slices when portioned with a warmed knife.
Swapping the pre-made chocolate cookie crust for a graham cracker shell alters the overall sweetness profile by introducing a traditional honey-graham note that contrasts sharply with the rich filling. Pair small slices of this rich dessert with strong, unsweetened black coffee to balance the high sugar content.
