Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
1 pint heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate
16 oz bag marshmallows
1 premade pie crust
Instructions
- Melt the marshmallows and heavy cream. Place 3 cups mini marshmallows, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the marshmallows are fully melted, about 2 minutes total. (Alternatively, melt in a small saucepan over low heat.)
- Add the chocolate. Set aside about 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips from a 12-ounce bag for garnish. Immediately add the remaining chocolate to the warm marshmallow mixture. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cool the chocolate mixture. Set the chocolate-marshmallow mixture aside to cool until barely warm to the touch, about 30 minutes.
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Place the remaining 2 cups cold heavy cream and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. (Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer or whisk and a large bowl.) Begin beating on low speed, gradually increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Reserve 1 cup of the whipped cream and fold in the remaining cream. Reserve and refrigerate about 1 cup of the whipped cream for topping the pie. Fold the remaining whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until no streaks of cream remain.
- Transfer the filling to the pie crust. Transfer the filling into a baked pastry crust or crumb crust and smooth into an even layer.
- Garnish and chill the pie. Refrigerate until the filling firms up, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Top with the reserved whipped cream and chocolate chips.
- Serve. Cut into slices and serve.
