Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup Hershey's chocolate bars, broken into pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, Hershey's chocolate bars, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Ensure you have a mixing bowl and a whisk or electric mixer ready for use.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the broken pieces of Hershey's chocolate bars with 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
- Once melted, allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly while you prepare the whipped cream. In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip the cream mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want the whipped cream to remain light and fluffy.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Start by adding a small amount of the whipped cream to the chocolate to lighten it, then fold in the rest of the whipped cream until fully combined. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
- Once the chocolate and whipped cream mixture is well combined, pour it into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. If you're short on time, you can chill it for a minimum of 30 minutes, but longer is better for the best texture.
- After the pie has set, slice it into 8 equal servings. You can garnish with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Hershey Chocolate Bar Pie!
Tips
- For the smoothest chocolate mixture, chop the Hershey's bars into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
- When whipping cream, use cold heavy cream straight from the refrigerator for the best volume and stability.
- Be gentle when folding the chocolate into the whipped cream to maintain the light, airy texture.
- For an extra touch of elegance, use a microplane to create delicate chocolate shavings for garnishing.
- Make sure your pie is thoroughly chilled before serving—at least 2 hours is ideal for the perfect set.
- If you want a firmer texture, you can briefly freeze the pie for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Use a pre-chilled mixing bowl and whisk when making whipped cream for maximum fluffiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
