Ingredients

Servings

• 8 ounce Chocolate cookie crust
• 6 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounce Semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Marshmallow fluff
• 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crust and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
3. In a heatproof bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set.
6. In a mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
7. In a separate bowl, beat the marshmallow fluff and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
8. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pie filling, then top with the marshmallow meringue.
9. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the meringue, or place the pie under the broiler for a few minutes.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
