This must-try HERSHEY'S Cocoa Cream Pie recipe appeared in a 1970s ad as "Snow Ghost Cocoa Cream Pie." It made the HERSHEY'S 100th Anniversary Cookbook too! With a history like that, you know this pie is good. This HERSHEY'S Cocoa Cream Pie is flavored with rich HERSHEY'S Cocoa powder, then topped with luscious whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The texture is creamy and dreamy. We love how using a packaged crumb crust or a pastry shell saves time and effort. Chocolate pie desserts are timeless — next up on your to-bake list is this All-Chocolate Boston Cream Pie, also sweetened with HERSHEY'S Cocoa!

Stir together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in medium saucepan. Gradually stir in milk.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Boil 1 minute; remove from heat. Gradually stir about half of the hot filling into yolks. Return all to saucepan; heat to gentle boil. Cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla.

Pour into crust. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Cool. Refrigerate until set, about 4 to 6 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired. Cover; refrigerate leftover pie.
