Gluten-Free Chocolate Pie
This Gluten-Free Chocolate Pie is a crustless pie made with almond flour. It’s a chocolate chip pie that makes its own pie crust.
Friends, enjoy a warm slice of my Crustless Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pie that I’ve been making for years. This is a great gluten-free option when you need a special dessert. It’s delicious served with vanilla ice cream or gelato, and is great either cold or warm out of the oven!
Gluten-Free Chocolate Pie
We love this pie made in a heart-shaped pan for Valentine’s Day, too. Or, you can make it in a 8×8 baking pan. So many options. You may also love my Almond Flour Chocolate Brownies recipe!
Why we love this recipe
- Swap out the chocolate chips for your favorite flavored chips!
- Add half chocolate, half white chocolate.
- Your gluten-free family or friends will love this recipe!
- It’s the first to be gobbled up quickly at every party.

- Vanilla extract
- Almond extract
- Chocolate chips
Pie that makes its own crust
There’s no acutal pie dough crust in this recipe! That’s right, this Crustless Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pie actually makes its own “crust.” Making it gluten-free, I used almond flour in place of regular flour.
This chocolate chip pie is like a big, super-thick chocolate chip cookie, but made into a pie. It’s ooey, gooey, and great served with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Also try some hot fudge on top to really make it amazing! Buy Trader Joe’s fudge, or you can make my best homemade chocolate sauce, which keeps nicely in the fridge. And also goes quickly, if all you need is a spoonful a day (it’s that good). LOL.
How do you bake a crustless pie?
The instructions are so simple!
- Lightly spray a pie plate or springform pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar in a mixer. Add the melted butter and eggs, plus both extracts. Genlty mix together.
- Add the chocolate chips and lightly mix together.
- Bake the pie.
- The pie will be softer in the middle, but allow to set/cool on a wire rack, for at least 15 mintues before serving.
Tips and Substitutions:
- Bake in a regular pie pan or a springform pan. Make sure and use cooking spray for each pan, so the pie doesn’t stick.
- Bake in a heart shaped pan for Valentine’s Day.
- We love traditional Toll House chocolate chips, but change up the pie and use your favorite flavored chips.
- You can also add nuts, dates, cranberries to the batter.
- Almond extract and nuts are optional.
- Add cardamom to step up the flavor!
- This is not a skillet cookie recipe. It’s not cooked in a skillet, and even though it’s gooey like one, it’s baked in the oven and is very different.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream!
Optional to bake in your favorite heart pan
Every heart pan is different, so make sure and check the baking time to not over cook the pie! This is a fun pie to make for your sweetheart!
I started making this recipe back in the 2000’s when my kids were much younger. Instead of cookies, we made a big pie, and it was a huge hit with our kids! This recipe has been posted on RE since 2015.
We brought this to a party last week, so I pulled out the recipe and everyone loved it.
It was a delicious weekend, full of conversations and people and great dishes and desserts.
Enjoy!

Since I have had to cut gluten because of celiac, I’ve struggled to find recipes that are tasty gf versions of my favorite comfort foods (so many gf recipes are also keto or vegan, not things I want or need). This recipe however is FANTASTIC. I made it for Pi day and have been enjoying it all week – warmed with ice cream. I didn’t have almond extract and I don’t like nuts, so I added a little extra vanilla and some cardamom. Yum!
About to try this as we are celebrating my husbands birthday. Two of our girls are gluten and dairy free. I am going to substitute baking sticks for butter. Hope is comes out great! Let me know if you have any other tips on this.
Awesome recepy! Recently I read a research from Top essay writer about gluten and it is not that useful and harmless as one could think. Certainly gonna try this pie. Thanks!
I loved this post, Sandy so many sweet and lovely things (I love that letter from your mom, what a blessing to have that!). And I love that you are in my book, you are the sweetest. xoxo Thank you!
Aaaawwww! How I would love to walk anywhere….. Living in the country has its perks – but you can’t walk anywhere, except to the barn to milk the cow of course.
That Walt Whitman quote! ♡♡♡ For my cookie pie variation I’d try white chocolate chips, only almond extract, and add a teaspoon of ground cardamon. Maybe sprinkle the top with sliced almonds too. I’m pinning this one!
