Adams started his memorable treble with a well-placed shot from inside the box in the first minute.
He completed his brace from the penalty spot in the 30th minute before he rounded the Hearts goalie Ben Mensah and rolled a tame shot into the net in the third minute of added time for his third goal in a dominant first-half for the Porcupine Warriors.
Hearts improved after the break and scored a consolation goal through skipper Thomas Abbey whose headed effort went past Kotoko goalie Felix Annan.
Adams was named the man of the match of the MTN FA Cup final.
For winning their ninth FA Cup title, the Porcupine Warriors were presented with a GHC 50,000 cash prize from sponsors MTN Ghana and will also represent Ghana in next year's CAF Confederation Cup.
Their victory also extended the trophyless run of their bitter-rivals Hearts who have failed to win a major trophy since 2009.
