To make this no-bake treat, you’ll need these simple ingredients:

24 Oreo cookies
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
7.56 ounce Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bar, chopped, will yield approximately 1 ½ cups

Hershey Sundae Pie Substitutions And Additions

CRUST: We used a pre-made chocolate cookie crust for ease in this no-bake dessert, but you can also make your own crushed Oreo pie crust. You could also use a homemade graham cracker crust or pre-made graham cracker crust from the store.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Customize your Hershey’s pie by adding different types of chocolate chips.

White chocolate, peanut butter chips, or dark chocolate chunks can create exciting contrasts in texture and flavor within the pie.

TOPPINGS: The sky’s the limit when it comes to toppings. Consider sprinkling crushed toffee bits or chopped nuts.

How To Make This Hershey Pie Recipe

The Oreo cookies are ground in a food processor.

STEP ONE: Place the chocolate creme cookies in a food processor bowl. Pulse for about one minute or until the cookies are very finely ground.

Butter is drizzled into the oreo crumbs.

STEP TWO: With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the melted unsalted butter until the mixture comes together. The crust mixture should look like wet sand.

The crust mixture is pressed into the pie plate

STEP THREE: Press the chocolate cookie crust mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a nine-inch pie pan. Make sure there are no cracks or loose crumbs. Place the crust in the freezer to harden while you prepare the filling.

STEP FOUR: Add the chopped Hershey’s chocolate to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for one minute, then stir until smooth. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted, heat it in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for about five minutes.

The whipped cream is mixed into the chocolate

STEP FIVE: Add the thawed whipped topping to the bowl once the melted chocolate has cooled to room temperature.

Gently fold the melted chocolate and whipped topping together until fully combined, with no white streaks remaining.

STEP SIX: Remove the chocolate cookie crust from the freezer. Transfer the Hershey pie filling to the crust, spreading it into an even layer.

STEP SEVEN: Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours, or overnight, until fully set.

The top of the pie is decorated with whipped cream ad pieces of hershey bar.

OPTIONAL STEP EIGHT: Just before serving, fill a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip with four ounces of thawed whipped topping.

Pipe eight dollops around the edge of the pie and top each dollop with a mini Hershey’s candy piece.

Storing This Hershey Chocolate Pie

Whether you plan to enjoy it over a few days or save a slice for later, here are some tips on storing your pie.

MAKE AHEAD: If you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to save time, you can make your Hershey’s chocolate pie ahead of time.

After baking and allowing it to cool completely, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Just remember, the longer it sits, the more the crust may soften.
