Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 32 large pieces Marshmallows
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 4 drops Green food coloring
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the marshmallows and milk. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract and green food coloring. Mix until the color is evenly distributed. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
While the marshmallow mixture is cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream in a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Just before serving, garnish the pie with dark chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
