This soft and creamy no-bake Hershey pie is sinfully delicious and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! With a decadent chocolate cookie crust and chocolate filling made from layers of chocolate bars, marshmallow fluff, cream cheese, and whipped cream, it’s hard to resist.
Hershey Pie Ingredients
Hershey pie is like a bit of heaven on Earth – every bite has an irresistible combination of sweet, rich chocolate filling and crunchy, decadent cookie crust.
This dessert literally melts in your mouth, creating an explosion of flavor from the first taste to the last bite.
To make this no-bake treat, you’ll need:
- 8 ounces of cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 7 ounces of marshmallow fluff
- 9-inch chocolate pie crust
- 6 Hershey’s chocolate bars, broken into pieces (plus more for decorating. We used one extra candy bar for the top garnish.)
- 1 (16-ounce) tub of Cool Whip, divided in half
- Hot fudge sauce, for garnish
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.
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, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce over the pie before serving.
These additions will give your dessert an extra layer of indulgence.
How To Make This Hershey Pie Recipe
This recipe is beyond simple to make. Since we are starting with a pre-made crust, all you need to do is make the two layers of pie filling before giving the pie time to chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
First, you will mix the sweet cream cheese, and marshmallow fluff filling and spread it over the chocolate pie crust.
Next, you will heat the Hershey bars in the microwave until melted. Combine with Cool Whip and add it to the pie.
Garnish with even more whipped cream and Hershey bar squares to complete this decadent dessert.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
It is so easy to make the chocolate pie filling by melting the chocolate bars and folding in the Cool Whip. This method of making the chocolate filling, along with the marshmallow fluff in the cream cheese layer both contribute to a softer set pie.
STEP ONE: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and marshmallow fluff until light and creamy.
It is much easier to blend cream cheese if it is at room temperature, so make sure it is softened before you start.
STEP TWO: Spread the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the chocolate pie crust.
PRO TIP:
Save the dome cover from the premade pie crust to cover the no-bake pie and store it in the fridge.
STEP THREE: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the pieces of the Hershey bars in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Fold eight ounces of the Cool Whip into the melted chocolate and spread the mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
PRO TIP:
Cool Whip can be piped onto the Hershey’s pie. Cool Whip is soft and doesn’t pipe with fine detail, but you can certainly pipe some soft swirls. Use a stabilized whipped cream for more precise swirls/definition.
STEP FOUR: Refrigerate for three to four hours to set the pie.
Top pie with dollops or piped swirls of the remaining Cool Whip and additional pieces of Hershey’s milk chocolate bars.
Serve with a drizzle of hot fudge, if desired.
PRO TIP:
For the ultimate clean slices, freeze the pie for several hours after assembly.
