Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup hot chocolate mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Grab your electric mixer and whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks develop about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup hot chocolate mix, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula, ensuring no streaks remain.
- Gently incorporate ½ cup mini marshmallows throughout the creamy mixture.
- Transfer the entire filling into your pre-made chocolate pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for exactly 4 hours at 40°F to allow the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, sprinkle chocolate shavings across the surface for a decorative finish.
Notes
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff, sturdy peaks to ensure a light and fluffy texture in your pie.
- For extra richness, select a high-quality hot chocolate mix with deep chocolate flavor.
- Folding the whipped cream carefully prevents deflating the mixture and maintains a smooth, airy consistency.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the filling to set completely and develop a perfect, creamy texture.
