Choco Mallow Pie
Description
The Choco Mallow Pie consists of a creamy ganache made by gently melting milk chocolate with heavy cream, poured into a ready-made graham cracker crust. The ganache sets firm in the refrigerator over several hours, creating a smooth, silky filling. Mini marshmallows scattered on top are briefly broiled until golden and puffy, introducing a light toasted flavor and contrasting texture. The pie is then chilled again to allow the chocolate to firm back up after broiling.
The flavor is rich and sweet with the milk chocolate's creamy taste complemented by the light caramel notes of toasted marshmallows. The texture balances the silky, firm ganache against the airy, slightly crisp marshmallow topping. Preparing the pie requires refrigeration to develop the proper set and texture.
This pie is served chilled and sliced, making it a satisfying dessert that combines creamy chocolate and toasted marshmallow in every bite. It works well as a special treat after dinner or for festive occasions.
Alternative chocolates, such as dark or a mix of dark and milk, can adjust the richness. Large marshmallows sliced for topping can be substituted for mini marshmallows if needed.
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups milk chocolate 400 g, chunks or chips
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Graham Cracker Crust ready made, 9 inch
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Combine the chocolate and cream in a large bowl, and microwave gently until melted. Stir every 30 seconds or so then return and heat until chocolate is nearly completely melted. Stir to combine and smooth out.
- Pour into prepared pie crust and refrigerate until set for 4 hours or overnight. Chocolate should be set and a little firm to the touch.
- Preheat the oven to broil, and scatter the mini marshmallows evenly on the top of the ganache. Broil for 1-2 minutes, rotating halfway through to evenly toast the marshmallows until puffy and golden brown in places.
- Carefully remove the pie from the oven and chill in the fridge again until the chocolate re-sets about 1-2 hours. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate the pie until the ganache is set firm before adding marshmallows and broiling.
- Use either all milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a combination per preference for sweetness and richness.
- Mini marshmallows give even toasting; sliced large marshmallows may be used if mini are unavailable.
- After broiling marshmallows, chill the pie to allow the chocolate ganache to firm again before slicing.
