When you need a chocolate fix but don’t want to turn on the oven, no-bake Hershey’s chocolate pie is the answer. Rich, creamy, and packed with classic Hershey’s chocolate flavor, this pie is a dream come true for dessert lovers who want something quick, simple, and totally satisfying.
The beauty of a no-bake dessert lies in its simplicity. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, you end up with a silky, decadent chocolate pie that tastes like it came from your favorite bakery. The base is usually made with Hershey’s chocolate, melted into a smooth, glossy filling that sets beautifully in the fridge. It’s a flavor that’s both nostalgic and indulgent, perfect for any chocolate lover.
What makes this pie even better is the texture. The filling is light and mousse-like, almost airy, yet rich enough to feel indulgent. It sits in a crisp cookie crust, often made from crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers, which adds the perfect bit of crunch to balance out the creaminess. A generous topping of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or even more Hershey’s pieces makes it irresistible from the first bite.
This pie is ideal for summer gatherings, last-minute dinner parties, or any time you want to impress without much effort. It’s also a great make-ahead dessert, since it needs time in the fridge to set. Once chilled, it slices cleanly and holds its shape while still melting in your mouth.
No-bake Hershey’s chocolate pie proves that you don’t need a complicated recipe or fancy ingredients to create a show-stopping dessert. It’s comfort food with a rich chocolate twist, perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or a random Tuesday night when you’re just craving something sweet.

So much chocolate… so little time! This is my new favorite dessert. ❤️
Anyone know if I can use dark chocolate? 🤔 I’m not sure how it would turn out.
Followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out more like a soup than a pie. What did I do wrong? 😩
This pie is sooooo good! Easy to make and tastes amazing! 🍫
I totally agree! This pie is a game changer! I can’t believe how simple it is to make. Definitely a new favorite in our house! 🍰
Looks good, but I wonder if it’s all that easy. Are you sure it’ll set right? Mine usually don’t. 🤔
I thought it would be awesome but I prefer it warm. This cold pie was a little weird for me.
I dunno why people were raving about it. It was just okay, definitly not my thing. 😶
I made this for my family and they loved it. But I think it needed more chocolate! 😅
Was skeptical at first, but wow! This is a hit at parties. Can’t believe it’s no-bake!
I used dark chocolate instead. Was still great! Try it if you want something a bit richer.
Why would you change the recipe? It’s a chocolate pie for a reason. Milk chocolate is better! 😤
That sounds delicious! I love dark chocolate, it must be so rich and satisfying. I’ll have to try that variation!
It was ok, but I felt like it was missing something. Maybe vanilla? Idk. 🤷♀️
I totally get you! I added a little bit of vanilla extract to mine, and it made a big difference! 😋
I dunno, I think it’s really good as is. Maybe you didn’t mix it well enough? 🤔
Looks easy, but do I really need to whip cream? Can’t I just use cool whip?
This is not a real pie if you don’t bake it! It’s just chocolate in a crust!
I gotta disagree, it’s called no-bake for a reason! It still tastes amazing!
Looks delicious, can’t wait to try it, but umm… what’s a graham cracker? 🤔
The recipe said refrigerate for 2 hours, but I left it for 30 mins. Why was it so runny?
I found this recipe too sweet for my taste. Maybe less chocolate next time?
I totally get you! The chocolate can be overpowering if you’re not a big fan. Just adjust the amount next time. Happy baking!
Not much of a chocolate fan, but I had to make it for a party. Not bad!
I wasn’t a fan of chocolate pies either until I tried this one! It’s surprisingly light and not too sweet. Perfect for parties!
This pie is absolutely divine! I can’t believe how easy it was to make. 😍
This is like a cheat for pie! So simple yet so tasty! Will make again.
I tried it but it didn’t set properly. What did I do wrong? 😕
Disappointing, it didn’t set well for me. Just a soupy mess. 🙁
Really? Just mixing chocolate and cream? I hope this is good but sounds too easy.
YUMMM! My kids loved it, they said it was the best pie ever! Thanks! 🍫
Can you use any other type of chocolate? I only have dark chocolate at home.
Really good! But I added some nuts on top for crunch, yum!
Uhhh, I forgot the chocolate and just whipped cream… Is that ok?
Perfect dessert for summer! Quick and no baking needed, I love it.
You guys! My pie didn’t look like the picture… what do I do? 😩
Don’t worry! It happens to the best of us. Just try again, maybe let the chocolate cool a bit more next time. 😊
This pie is sooo easy and delicious! My kids loved it!
Easy? Really? I once made a pie that took me all day and it still came out bad. Maybe I’ll give this recipe a second thought.
I’m glad your kids loved it! My daughter didn’t like chocolate much, though. Maybe I should try it with peanut butter instead? 🤔
