Mixing Bowls: To combine dry ingredients and prepare the filling.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dessert (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

For the Pie Crust:

Flour (1½ cups): All-purpose flour creates the perfect tender, flaky crust.
Icing Sugar (1/3 cup): Sweetens the crust just enough without overpowering the chocolate filling.
Cocoa Powder (¼ cup): Adds a rich chocolate flavor to the crust.
Butter (125g, chopped): Butter adds a delicate richness to the crust.
Egg (1): The egg helps bind the ingredients together, making the crust more manageable.

For the Filling:

Marshmallows (250g): The key ingredient for a light, fluffy, and gooey texture.
Milk (½ cup): To melt and combine the marshmallows, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture.
Whipped Cream (1 cup): Lightens up the filling and adds a nice, fluffy consistency.

For Serving:

Mixed Berries: Fresh berries (like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) add a refreshing contrast to the rich dessert.
Icing Sugar (for dusting): A light dusting of icing sugar enhances the visual appeal and adds just a hint of sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Crust

To begin, we’ll prepare the crust for our chocolate marshmallow pies. You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it if needed.

a. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, icing sugar, and cocoa powder. This combination ensures the crust has both sweetness and a deep chocolate flavor.

b. Add Butter

Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You want small bits of butter to remain, as they will create a flaky texture in the crust.

c. Add Egg

Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the flour-butter mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of cold water at a time until it forms a dough.

d. Roll the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick, ensuring it’s large enough to fit your pie dishes or tart pans. Carefully transfer the dough into your pie dishes, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

e. Chill the Crust

Once the dough is in the dish, place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Chilling helps the dough keep its shape while baking.

2. Bake the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the crust has chilled, line it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans to prevent the dough from puffing up while baking.

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights. Continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely before filling.

3. Make the Chocolate Marshmallow Filling

Now, let’s create the rich chocolate marshmallow filling that will make these pies irresistible.

a. Melt the Marshmallows

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are fully melted and smooth. You can use mini marshmallows for faster melting, but regular ones work just as well.

b. Prepare the Chocolate

Once the marshmallows are melted, add chopped chocolate (about 100g) to the pan. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and combined with the marshmallow mixture.

c. Cool the Filling

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the filling to cool for a few minutes. This helps the filling thicken a little, making it easier to pour into the crust.

d. Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This will give the filling a light, airy texture. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate-marshmallow mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.

4. Assemble the Pies

Once the pie crusts have cooled and the filling is ready, it’s time to assemble your chocolate marshmallow pies.

a. Fill the Crusts

Spoon the marshmallow-chocolate filling into each pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Be sure not to overfill, as the filling will spread and settle while chilling.

b. Chill the Pies

Refrigerate the filled pies for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set. If you’re in a rush, you can speed up the process by placing them in the freezer for about 2 hours.

5. Serve the Chocolate Marshmallow Pies

Once the pies are set, it’s time to enjoy! Serve the pies with fresh mixed berries and a dusting of icing sugar on top. The tartness of the berries complements the richness of the chocolate marshmallow filling perfectly.

Variations for Chocolate Marshmallow Pies

While this recipe is delicious as is, there are many ways you can personalize these chocolate marshmallow pies:

Add a Nutty Crust: Try mixing in some finely chopped nuts (like almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts) into your pie crust for an extra crunch and flavor.
Use Flavored Chocolate: Experiment with different types of chocolate for the filling, such as white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even milk chocolate with a bit of caramel.
Top with Ganache: For extra indulgence, drizzle the top with a smooth chocolate ganache before adding the berries and icing sugar.
Marshmallow Fluff: Use marshmallow fluff instead of regular marshmallows for a smoother, creamier filling.
Add Liqueur: Add a splash of liqueur, like Bailey’s Irish Cream or Kahlúa, to the filling for an adult twist on this dessert.

Storing Chocolate Marshmallow Pies

Leftovers: If you have any leftover pies, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They should stay fresh and creamy.
Freezing: These pies can be frozen if you want to make them ahead of time. Once the pies have set, wrap each pie individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
