Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

For the Fudge Layer:

  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Marshmallow Layer:

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and sugar.
  • Add the melted butter and mix until fully combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie pan, forming an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the layers.
  1. Make the Fudge Layer:
  • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
  • Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and butter until smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the fudge mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  1. Make the Marshmallow Layer:
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm.
  • Stir in the mini marshmallows and powdered sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly, then pour it over the chilled fudge layer.
  1. Chill the Pie:
  • Refrigerate the pie for 3-4 hours or until fully set.
  1. Add the Toppings:
  • Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional) just before serving.

Tips:

  • To make this dessert extra decadent, you can add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce on top.
  • For a different twist, replace the mini marshmallows with marshmallow fluff for a smoother texture.
