Hershey Pie Ingredients

You will need:

• 9-inch chocolate pie crust
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
• 6 Hershey’s chocolate bars, broken into pieces (plus extra for garnish)
• 16 ounces Cool Whip, divided
• Hot fudge sauce, for serving (optional)

Substitutions and Additions

Crust: For convenience this recipe uses a store-bought chocolate cookie crust, but a homemade Oreo-style crust works equally well if you prefer to make it from scratch.

How to Make Hershey Pie

Pro tip: Melting the Hershey bars and folding in Cool Whip creates a smooth, mousse-like chocolate layer. The marshmallow fluff in the cream cheese layer helps keep the pie soft and airy.

Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and marshmallow fluff until the mixture is light and creamy.

Step 2: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of the chocolate pie crust. If your pre-made crust came with a dome cover, save it to protect the pie while chilling.

Pro tip: Keeping the dome or covering the pie prevents it from absorbing fridge odors and keeps the surface smooth.

Step 3: Place the broken Hershey bar pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is completely smooth. Fold half of the Cool Whip (about 8 ounces) into the melted chocolate, then spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer.

Pro tip: Cool Whip is soft and can be piped into loose swirls, but if you want crisp, defined piping, use stabilized whipped cream instead.

Step 4: Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to set. When ready to serve, add dollops or piped swirls of the remaining Cool Whip and sprinkle extra pieces of Hershey’s bars on top. Finish with a drizzle of hot fudge if desired.

Pro tip: For very clean slices, freeze the pie for several hours after assembling, then slice while partially frozen.

How to Serve Hershey Pie

Hershey Pie makes a wonderful dessert for gatherings, holidays, or any time you crave chocolate. Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrast, or pair it with a warm mug of whipped hot chocolate for an extra decadent treat.

Storage

Refrigerator: Store the pie covered in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Freezer: The pie can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for a short time before serving for best texture.

Hershey Pie is rich, creamy, and easy to assemble. Layers of cream cheese and marshmallow fluff combine with a chocolate mousse-like filling to create a dessert that’s both luxurious and approachable. With a crunchy chocolate crust and simple ingredients, it’s a reliable favorite for chocolate lovers.
