Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- ½ cup butter
- 1 ½ cups chocolate crumbs
Filling
- 30 large marshmallows
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup whipping or heavy cream
Optional Toppings
- ¼ cup toffee bits or caramels, chopped
- ¼ cup pecans, walnuts or peanuts chopped
- ¼ cup M&M's, Rolos or your favorite chocolate candies mini or chopped if necessary
- drizzle chocolate, caramel or strawberry sauce
Instructions
Chocolate Base
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate wafer crumbs. Stir until blended.
- Use cup or measuring cup to press crumbs into 9 or 9 ½ inch pie plate.
- Bake for 10 minutes and set aside on rack to cool.
Filling
- Combine marshmallows, milk, chocolate chips and brown sugar in a large saucepan on medium-low. Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth.
- Pour contents into a bowl and refrigerate, scraping down sides of bowl and stirring regularly. Mixture needs to thicken. Once chocolate mixture will pile up without losing its shape prepare whipping cream.
- Beat cream in a small bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Remove cold chocolate mixture from fridge. Gently fold whipping cream into chocolate mixture.
- Once blended pour into your cooled pie shell.
Topping
- Sprinkle toffee bits, pecans or your candies of choice all over the top of the pie, if desired.
- Refrigerate and serve cold with a drizzle of sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Make sure you don’t over whip the cream. Whipping it too much can cause the cream to split and become grainy.
- When combining the chocolate and the cream mixture, remember to use gentle folds to incorporate the batter. This will help keep the pie light and airy.
- Chocolate is the hero ingredient here, and the quality you use really makes a difference in how the pie turns out. Use the best quality chocolate chips you can find.
- Use cold whipping cream to get the perfect mousse-like consistency. Also make sure the marshmallow-chocolate mixture has cooled down too, before you mix it with the cream.
- Whip right: Make sure you don’t over whip the cream. Whipping it too much can cause the cream to split and become grainy.
- Fold, don’t mix: When combining the chocolate and the cream mixture, remember to use gentle folds to incorporate the batter. This will help keep the pie light and airy.
- Quality matters: Chocolate is the hero ingredient here, and the quality you use really makes a difference in how the pie turns out. Use the best quality chocolate chips you can find.
- Chill it: Use cold whipping cream to get the perfect mousse-like consistency. Also make sure the marshmallow-chocolate mixture has cooled down too, before you mix it with the cream.
