Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt together marshmallows, milk, and Hershey bar over very low heat. Cool, but not too long.
- Whip Rich's whipped topping until stiff peaks form.
- Thaw the whipped topping completely before whipping.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped topping until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust or baked pie crust.
- Chill the pie until set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the almond Hershey bar with a dark chocolate variety. If you prefer a less sweet pie, consider using unsweetened cocoa powder in the chocolate mixture. Make sure the marshmallows are completely melted to avoid lumps. For a more decadent pie, you could add crushed nuts to the crust or sprinkle them on top before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled with a dollop of additional whipped topping on each slice for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an elegant touch. Consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover New Villa Chocolate Pie in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep well for about 3-4 days. Avoid freezing the pie, as the texture of the whipped topping may change upon thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust?
Absolutely! While a graham cracker crust is traditional, you can also use a chocolate cookie crust or a traditional pie crust for a different flavor and texture. Just ensure the crust is baked and cooled if using a traditional one.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, simply substitute the graham cracker crust with a gluten-free graham cracker alternative or use a gluten-free cookie crust. Check the labels on the marshmallows and chocolate to ensure they are gluten-free as well.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie is perfect for making ahead! You can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just be sure to cover it well to prevent any absorption of odors from the fridge.
