How to Prepare 3 Ingredient No-Bake Hershey’s Pie
This recipe is incredibly simple. Follow these easy steps for perfect results every time.
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Break the Hershey’s chocolate bars into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let it cool for about 5 minutes so it is warm but not hot.

Step 2: Mix the Filling
Place the thawed whipped topping into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the cooled melted chocolate over the whipped topping.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold everything together until fully combined. Continue folding until the mixture becomes smooth, fluffy, and evenly chocolate-colored. Avoid overmixing so the filling stays light and airy.

Step 3: Fill the Pie Crust
Spoon the chocolate filling into the prepared chocolate cookie pie crust.
Spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Smooth the top for a beautiful finish.

Step 4: Chill the Pie
Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture. The filling will firm up as it chills.

Step 5: Slice and Serve
Once fully chilled, slice the pie with a sharp knife.
Serve cold and enjoy every creamy, chocolatey bite.

Optional Toppings
Although delicious as-is, you can dress it up with:
- Chocolate shavings
- Mini chocolate chips
- Extra whipped topping
- Chocolate syrup
- Crushed chocolate cookies
- Fresh strawberries
- Chopped peanuts
Tips for the Best Pie
- Allow the chocolate to cool slightly before mixing with the whipped topping.
- Fold gently to keep the filling fluffy.
- Chill for at least 4 hours before slicing.
- For cleaner slices, dip the knife in warm water and wipe it dry between cuts.
- Store the pie covered to keep it fresh.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
