Ingredients
- All-purpose flour, for work surface
- 1/2 recipe Basic Pie Dough
- 1/4 c. cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 c. heavy cream, divided
- 8 oz. milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 c. marshmallow cream
- Chocolate curls and marshmallow bits, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F with the rack in the bottom position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. On a lightly floured work surface, roll pie dough to a 12-inch circle. Fit in the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, fold edges under, trim overhang to 1 inch, and crimp. Freeze 20 minutes.
Step 2
Line piecrust with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans, pressing all the way to the edge. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes. Carefully remove foil and pie weights, and prick bottom of piecrust several times with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 3
Whisk together cocoa, salt, and 1/2 cup cream in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Melt chocolate in microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in cocoa mixture until smooth.
Step 4
Whisk sugar, vanilla, and 1 1/2 cups cream with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Whisk about 1/4 of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Spoon into piecrust. Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, about 2 hours. Pie can be refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.
Step 5
Beat marshmallow cream and remaining 1 cup cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 1 minute. Spoon on top of pie. Garnish with chocolate curls and mini marshmallow bits.
