How to Make No-Bake Yogurt Pie with Chocolate Ganache

This delicious no-bake yogurt pie is the perfect summertime dessert. It’s fast and easy to make, and it’s made with your favorite flavors: almonds, yogurt, raspberry jam, a date-nut crust, and velvety chocolate on top…. irresistible.

It requires no oven time, is made entirely with wholesome ingredients, and has that luxurious, creamy texture that makes it feel like a real treat. This no-bake yogurt pie with a chocolate topping is one of those quietly impressive desserts that delivers big flavor with little effort.

Best of all, it’s naturally gluten-free and refined sugar-free. It relies on dates and ripe avocados for natural sweetness and texture. However, the chocolate ganache can be made either with the chocolate avocado mousse recipe or the homemade Nutella recipe.

Why You Will Love This Yogurt Pie Recipe

This yogurt pie is perfect for warm-weather days or when you’re looking for a nourishing dessert that’s rich yet light, with distinct layers and textures. It combines the earthiness of pistachios and almond pulp from almond milk in the base, the creamy tang of strained homemade yogurt, and a smooth, velvety ganache with a subtle richness from dark chocolate and avocado.

If you like these no-bake desserts, there is a series of yogurt parfaits in a cup, like these strawberry, blackberry, and cherry. All of them are packed with fiber, fermented foods such as yogurt, and seasonal fruit.

This recipe can also effortlessly be transformed into the same deliciousness in a cup, as mentioned above. Just layer the same ingredients, nut-and-date base, strained yogurt, jam (if using), and ganache, into small glass cups or jars.

This recipe is part of my ongoing love for desserts made from real ingredients. It brings together several of my tested recipes—

• How to Make the Perfect Almond Milk at Home – and use the remaining pulp in delicious treats.
• How to Make the Best Date Paste – an extremely versatile sweetener for almost everything.
• How to Make Probiotic Yogurt – A favorite staple at home, it is used in countless recipes.
• Raspberry chia jam – very high in fiber, tangy, and naturally sweet seasonal jam.
• Chocolate avocado mousse – one of my secret, quick and easy desserts, a star among my friends.

They all layer into a beautiful, healthy celebration of texture and flavor. It’s the perfect example of a creamy yogurt dessert, avocado chocolate topping, and almond pulp crust- all in one slice.

Ingredients for this Delish No-Bake Yogurt Pie:

Base Layer:

• 100g almond meal/pulp. If you don’t make almond milk at home or have pulp, use almond flour. Learn more about these here.
• 100g raw pistachios
• 100g raw cashews
• 130g date paste. If you don’t have any homemade or store-bought, simply toss 6-7 soft Medjool dates into the blender.

Yogurt Layer:

• 600g strained Greek-style yogurt. Try to buy the best ingredients and live yogurt where possible. In this recipe, I use my homemade yogurt, strained overnight in cheesecloth.

Middle Layer:

• 100g raspberry chia jam, or any other jam you love. Can be skipped for a minimalist version.

Chocolate Ganache Layer:

• One portion of my fav chocolate avocado mousse, with the addition of 80g melted 85% dark chocolate (check out my mousse recipe for full details). Or if you prefer a richer chocolate taste, use this homemade Nutella.
• If you don’t have any of these, just melted dark chocolate, a spoon of nut butter, and coconut oil will do the job.

Decoration:

• Fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios.

How to Make this Refined Sugar-free Dessert

1. Prepare the Base:
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and cashews until finely chopped. Add the almond meal/pulp and date paste. Pulse again just until combined and sticky—avoid over-blending to maintain a bit of texture.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 20cm springform cake tin. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently compact it. Set in the fridge to chill while you prepare the yogurt layer.

2. Strain the Yogurt:
If not done already, strain your yogurt overnight in a cheesecloth or nut milk bag over a bowl in the fridge. This step is crucial for texture. It gives the pie body and firmness without the need for gelatine or starch.

Spoon the strained yogurt onto the base and level it with a spatula. Smooth it down gently. If you’re using raspberry chia jam, spread it in a thin, even layer over the yogurt.

3. Prepare the Ganache:
Make a batch of avocado chocolate mousse, homemade Nutella, or simply mix 100g melted dark chocolate with a spoon of nut butter and coconut oil.

Using a spatula, gently spread the mousse over the yogurt or jam layer. Smooth the top and clean up any drips around the edge.

4. Chill Overnight:
Cover the tin and refrigerate the pie overnight to allow it to set fully. The layers will firm enough to slice cleanly, but the ganache will remain silky and soft.

5. Decorate and Serve:
Before serving, decorate with a handful of fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios for color and crunch.

Tips and Variations of this Healthy No-bake Dessert

• Substitute Options:
  • The raspberry chia jam can be swapped with any sugar-free jam or omitted altogether for a cleaner taste.
  • The avocado ganache can be replaced with melted dark chocolate, nut butter mixed with 2 tsp coconut oil for a firmer, glossier top. However, using avocado allows for a slightly softer, mousse-like layer.
• Storage:
  • This pie can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • It can also be frozen, though the yogurt’s texture may change slightly upon thawing.
• Texture Note:
  • The base will stay soft yet structured thanks to the nut-and-date blend.
  • The yogurt gives a firm, creamy middle.
  • The ganache has been tested multiple times and remains sliceable even with the avocado base.
