How to Make Burger King Copycat Hershey Pie

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the fun part—making this delightful Burger King Copycat Hershey Pie. Trust me, this process is as easy as pie!

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Start with your room temperature cream cheese, placing it in a medium mixing bowl. Beat it together with sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until it’s creamy and smooth, like a soft cloud of goodness. Don’t rush; this step is key for flavor!

Step 2: Layer the Cream Cheese Filling

Once you have that delightful mixture, grab your prepared chocolate pie crust. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the crust, making sure it reaches the edges. This is where the magic begins—set it aside while we work on the star of our show!

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

Now, let’s melt those Hershey’s chocolate bars. In a microwave-safe bowl, break the chocolate into pieces. Heat it in 30-second increments, stirring between each session. Keep an eye on it—burnt chocolate is a no-go! Once melted and smooth, allow it to cool for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Combine Chocolate and Whipped Topping

After the chocolate has cooled, it’s time to introduce it to the whipped topping. Take one cup from the thawed whipped topping and whisk it into the melted chocolate vigorously. You want a smooth blend here! Now gently fold in the rest of the whipped topping, creating a fluffy mixture that’s chocolatey yet light.

Step 5: Spread the Chocolate Layer

Carefully spread your chocolate mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust. Be a bit gentle to keep those layers separate and beautiful. You want each slice to show off that lovely contrast between the creamy layers!

Step 6: Chill the Pie

Patience is key here—refrigerate your pie for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better! This chilling time allows all those flavors to meld together beautifully and ensures a perfect slice.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

When you’re ready to serve, pull your pie from the fridge. Top it with dollops of the remaining whipped topping. If you like, add some little pieces of the milk chocolate bar for a decorative touch. Slice it up and enjoy the sweet bliss of your homemade Burger King Copycat Hershey Pie!

Tips for Success

  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing—no lumps allowed!
  • Be patient when melting chocolate; stir often to prevent burning and ensure smoothness.
  • Chill the pie overnight for the best flavor and texture—it’s worth the wait!
  • Consider using different toppings like chocolate shavings or crushed nuts for added flavor.
  • Serve chilled for that refreshing taste everyone will love!

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowls: Use any size that fits your mixing needs; a large one works best.
  • Electric mixer: A handheld mixer speeds things up, but a whisk will do!
  • Microwave-safe bowl: Essential for melting chocolate; glass is a great option.
  • Spatula: Perfect for spreading mixtures evenly; a rubber one helps scrape every bit!
  • Refrigerator: To chill your pie; it’s a must-have for this no-bake recipe!

Variations

  • Nutty addition: Sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or almonds on top before serving for a crunchy contrast.
  • Flavor twist: Try adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the melted chocolate for a mocha flavor that elevates the dessert.
  • Lower sugar option: Substitute the powdered sugar for a sugar alternative like Stevia or erythritol to decrease sugar content.
  • Gluten-free crust: Use a gluten-free cookie crust, like crushed gluten-free Oreos, for a tasty alternative.
  • Fruit garnish: Top the pie with fresh berries, like raspberries or strawberries, for a fresh and colorful touch.

Serving Suggestions for Burger King Copycat Hershey Pie

  • Serve with a dollop of extra whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch!
  • Pair it with fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries for a burst of color and freshness.
  • Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate to enhance the chocolate flavors.
