How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Marshmallow Pie
1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even layer on the bottom and sides.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
2: Make the Filling
- Melt dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate mixture over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Arrange sliced strawberries evenly over the chocolate layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold marshmallow fluff into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Spread the marshmallow mixture over the strawberries, smoothing the top with a spatula.
3: Add the Topping
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and chocolate shavings.
Helpful Tips
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. The sweetness of the strawberries balances beautifully with the rich chocolate.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping the cream. It helps achieve a firmer consistency.
- For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut the pie.
Substitutions/Variations
- Graham Cracker Crust Alternatives: Swap graham crackers for chocolate wafers or digestive biscuits.
- Marshmallow Fluff: If you don’t have marshmallow fluff, melt regular marshmallows with a bit of milk over low heat.
- Dark Chocolate: Substitute with milk or white chocolate if you prefer a different flavor profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture in the pie.
How long does this pie last?
Store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust may become softer over time, but it will still be delicious!
Can I make this pie in advance?
Absolutely! This pie can be made a day ahead. Just add the toppings right before serving to keep them fresh.
Storage Instructions
To store your Chocolate Strawberry Marshmallow Pie:
- Refrigerate: Cover the pie with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Freeze: If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the pie without the whipped cream topping. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving, then add the whipped cream and garnishes.
