Hershey Pie – Easy No-Bake Chocolate Dessert

Description

This no-bake Hershey Pie is a creamy, chocolatey dessert made with melted Hershey’s bars, cream cheese, and whipped topping in a cookie crust. Easy to prepare, rich in flavor, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

1 Oreo or graham cracker pie crust (ready-to-use)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
16 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed (divided)
6 Hershey’s milk chocolate bars (1.55 oz each), melted
Optional: chocolate syrup and crushed graham crackers for garnish

Instructions

Melt Hershey’s bars in the microwave in 30-second bursts (stirring between each) or use a double boiler until smooth. Let cool slightly, then fold in half of the whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread this chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared crust.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping until fully combined. Spread this mixture over the chocolate layer.
Smooth an extra layer of whipped topping across the top for a light, creamy finish.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight for best results).
Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle crushed graham crackers or shaved chocolate for garnish.

Notes

For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping.
Ensure chocolate cools slightly before folding into whipped topping to avoid melting it.
Chill overnight for the firmest slices and best flavor.
Use a gluten-free crust for a gluten-free version.
Add crushed Oreos, peanut butter, or coffee granules for fun variations.
