Ready in: 4 hours 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (28grams) salted butter, diced into 4 pieces
- 1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips*
- 1/2 cup (3 oz) bittersweet chocolate chips (or another 1/2 cup semi-sweet if you don’t like it quite as rich)
- 2 cups (104grams ) mini marshmallows
- 1/3 cup (80ml) milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups (415ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 (6 oz) store-bought Oreo pie crust
Topping
- 1 cup (235ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- Chocolate shavings, to garnish
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine butter, milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips, and marshmallows. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate and marshmallows have melted. This process takes time, so keep stirring until everything is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 45 to 60 minutes, until it reaches room temperature.
- Whip 1 3/4 cups of heavy cream in a chilled bowl until very stiff peaks form. Fold this whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into an Oreo crust and spread it into an even layer. If you prefer a shorter pie, you can reserve some of the mousse in chilled cups for later.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- For the topping, whip the remaining 1 cup of cream with sugar in a cold mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the pie and garnish with chocolate. Then, cut the pie into slices and store it in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a milk chocolate flavor instead of the regular dark chocolate flavor, you can use 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- To create chocolate shavings, simply run a vegetable peeler down the sides of a chocolate bar.
