Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base

1 prepared 9-inch chocolate pie crust

Cream Cheese Layer

6 ounces block style cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Chocolate Layer

4.65 ounces Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (use entire container in this step)

Garnish (Optional)

Remaining whipped topping from second container for swirled dollops
Small individual broken pieces of Hershey’s milk chocolate bars

Instructions

Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Gently fold in 1 container (8 ounces) of thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated to create a light and fluffy base layer.
Assemble Cream Cheese Layer: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9-inch chocolate pie crust. Set aside to prepare the next layer.
Melt the Chocolate: Place the broken Hershey’s milk chocolate bar pieces into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Allow it to cool for 1 to 2 minutes without solidifying.
Combine Chocolate and Whipped Topping: Add 1 cup of whipped topping from the second 8-ounce container into the melted chocolate and whisk vigorously until smooth. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped topping from the same container to ensure the chocolate mixture remains lump-free and airy.
Assemble Chocolate Layer: Carefully spread the chocolate whipped topping mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the pie, taking care not to mix the layers.
Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the pie to chill completely.
Add Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top the pie with swirled dollops of the remaining whipped topping and garnish with small broken pieces of Hershey’s milk chocolate bars. This prevents the garnish from softening or falling off prematurely.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending and a smooth texture.
Microwave chocolate in short increments to prevent burning and achieve a silky melt.
Do not add garnish too early to avoid it melting or becoming soggy.
This pie requires chilling time, so plan ahead for at least 4 hours or overnight refrigeration.
Use a quality chocolate pie crust for enhanced chocolate flavor.
