Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows and candy bars in milk over low heat.
- Fold in whipped cream and vanilla.
- Pour the mixture into a baked 9-inch pie shell.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate candy bars instead of milk chocolate. If you want to reduce sweetness, use less marshmallows or opt for unsweetened whipped cream. You can also substitute the whipped cream with a non-dairy alternative for a lighter version. This pie is a great way to use leftover whipped cream from your Fluffy Sweet Potato Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chocolate Hershey Pie chilled, topped with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an elegant touch. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh berries for a delightful contrast. This pie is perfect for gatherings or as a sweet ending to a hearty meal, like Squash And Cheese Bake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the crust's texture, avoid freezing the pie. If the pie is refrigerated for a while, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
