Impossible Chocolate Pie is a magical crustless dessert where a simple batter transforms into a layered pie during baking. The result is a delicious concoction with a custard-like filling on the bottom, a creamy center, and a chocolatey topping. It’s easy to make and yields a delightful pie without the need for a traditional crust. Made with Bisquick baking mix.
I was poking around Pinterest and came across Impossible Pie. Turns out there are all kinds of Impossible Pie recipes from savory to sweet so I chose the Impossible Chocolate Pie to try first.
Impossible Chocolate Pie Recipe
If I researched it more, I’m pretty sure it all originated with Bisquick, but I’m sure you can use any baking mix.
What Is Impossible Pie?
I was intrigued by why it was called Impossible Pie. All the recipes looked simple enough and pretty much all the same, so I grabbed my ingredients and got busy.
Mix the baking mix, sugar, unsweetened chocolate, butter and eggs all together and this Impossible Chocolate Pie Recipe magically separates into delicious layers when baked. Serve warm with whipped topping or ice cream for an easy delicious dessert.
How to Make Chocolate Impossible Pie
The recipe I was following for Impossible Chocolate Pie had unsweetened chocolate bars, but if I were to make this again, I’d just use unsweetened cocoa. I haven’t tried it yet, so if you do and it doesn’t turn out, you can’t blame me. 🙂
You’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 ounces unsweetened bar chocolate – Melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup Bisquick or baking mix
- Whipped Cream
- Prepare a pie pan and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly.
- Once the chocolate is cooled, combine it with all ingredients (except for whipping cream) into a blender on high. A bowl and mixer should work too.
- Once it’s well blended, pour into the pie plate.
- Bake at 350° for 30 min. Let it cool for about 15 min and serve with vanilla ice cream.
I was skeptical. It just looked like a soupy mess. But I followed the directions and put it in the oven, just like that.
When I pulled it out, it looked more like a brownie and not very appetizing. It wasn’t until I cut into it, that I saw the layers!
The flavor will delight any dark chocolate lover. It would also be delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I just had whipped cream.
If I was serving it to a crowd, I may have covered the whole pie with whipped topping, after it cooled of course. But if you’re serving with ice cream, definitely serve warm!

I don’t see when to add the melted chocolate back to the recipe. The last thing I see of the chocolate is to melt it and set it aside, and it’s never mentioned again. Do I just add it to the other ingredients in the blender?
Kim says
Add it in with all other ingredients when blending.

Been perusing Impossible Pie recipes, trying to pick one with the coconut to make today (it’s a rainy day, what else is there to do?). Chocolate of course caught my eye… going to make this now. The other recipes all call for twice that amount of eggs and milk, and are described as custardy- is this one firmer than a custard? That may be a good thing, my family is funny about textures.
Oh and I have to wonder how a little peanut butter would be added in… I might just experiment.
Kim says
I would try it both ways. I was surprised by the consistency and also thought it would be less dense, but it was delicious!
Tuawana says
Did you try it with peanut butter? If so, how did it turn out?
Kim says
I haven’t not tried it with peanut butter, but now I think I need to try. I bet the peanut butter powder would work well, just mix it in with the bisquick. ??
