A rich, creamy holiday dessert with chocolate and marshmallow flavors, perfect for festive gatherings and satisfying sweet cravings with a smooth, indulgent texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the candy bar and marshmallows in milk over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Let the mixture cool.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the whipped cream with the cooled chocolate and marshmallow mixture.
- Pour the combined mixture into the graham cracker pie crust.
- Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. If you prefer a lighter dessert, substitute half of the whipping cream with Greek yogurt. When melting the marshmallows, stir continuously to prevent scorching. If you can't find graham cracker crust, a chocolate cookie crust is a delicious alternative that pairs beautifully with this Hershey's Holiday Pie.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is perfect on its own, but you can elevate it by topping each slice with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. Consider serving it alongside a slice of Lemon Pudding Cheesecake for a festive dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the texture, avoid freezing as it may alter the consistency of the filling. When ready to serve, simply slice and enjoy cold, or let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes for a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! This Hershey's Holiday Pie can be made a day in advance. Just be sure to cover it well and refrigerate. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and saves you time on the day you plan to serve it.
What can I use if I don't have marshmallows?
If you don’t have marshmallows, you can use marshmallow fluff as a substitute. Use about 2 cups of fluff to achieve a similar texture and sweetness, mixing it in after melting the chocolate.
How do I know when the whipped cream is ready?
Whipped cream is ready when it forms stiff peaks, meaning it holds its shape when you lift the whisk out. Be careful not to overbeat, as it can turn grainy and eventually become butter.
