Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/3 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Filling
- 2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 1 3/4 quares unsweetened chocolate
- 12 ounces evaporated milk or ½ cup heavy whipping cream (1 can)
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 2 cups small marshmallows
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Semisweet chocolate for grating
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Pecans
Instructions
Make Crust
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Stir to blend ingredients until all crumbs are evenly moistened by the butter.
- Pat the graham cracker mixture evenly into a pie plate or dish using the back of a spoon, covering the bottom and sides of the dish completely to form a crust.
- Bake the crust for 8 minutes in the oven till crust hardens. Cool before filling.
Make Filling
- Combine 2/3 cup of sugar, salt, and flour in a small saucepan. Melt chocolate squares (the easiest way is to melt it in a small dish in the microwave), then add the melted chocolate to the dry mixture along with the evaporated milk or cream. Whisk together to blend ingredients.
- Add 1 cup of water and beaten egg yolks, whisk again. Turn heat to medium low and continue to whisk for 10-15 minutes. The mixture will heat slowly and take on a thicker consistency and become a custard. Don’t leave the pan alone for very long or the custard will burn/congeal to the bottom of the pan. Continue whisking until the custard thickens and begins to stick to the whisk in small lumps. Remove from heat.Melt in the butter, then whisk in the marshmallows, which will melt into the custard. Let mixture return to room temperature.
- Fill cooled graham cracker crust with the custard.Place pie uncovered in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours till set (preferably overnight).
- At least 1 ½ hours before serving, combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 2 tbsp sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Whip on medium high for a few minutes until the cream is light and fluffy.Spread the freshly whipped cream on top of the pie with a spatula. If you have more time and want a more elegant presentation, you can pipe the cream across the top of the pie with a star tip.
- Grate semisweet chocolate into 2-3 tbsp of chocolate shavings.
- Sprinkle the chocolate shavings onto the top of the pie, along with 2 tbsp chopped pecans.
- Chill for at least 1 hour longer before serving.
Notes
- You will also need: small and medium mixing bowls, 9 inch pie plate or dish, small saucepan, whisk, pie plate, electric mixer, spatula, grater
- Note: This recipe was tested with both regular marshmallows and kosher marshmallows. The regular marshmallows melted into the chocolate filling, whereas the kosher marshmallows only partially melted, giving the filling a "rocky road" effect. Both results were delicious, so feel free to use kosher marshmallows if you prefer.
