Recipe Ingredients

So simple and so good. Below are the ingredients you’ll need to make this Chocolate Cream Pie.

Milk: The liquid base that helps melt and blend the chocolate and marshmallows, creating a smooth and creamy texture.

Miniature Marshmallows: Add sweetness and contribute to the pie's creamy texture. When melted, they create a smooth and slightly chewy consistency.

Milk Chocolate: The star ingredient, providing the primary chocolate flavor. Milk chocolate's sweetness and creamy texture are essential to the pie's overall taste.

Heavy Whipping Cream: When whipped, it adds lightness and airiness to the filling. Folding it into the chocolate mixture creates a smooth, decadent texture.

Chocolate-Flavored Pie Shell: Provides the base for the pie. The chocolate flavor complements the filling, enhancing the overall chocolate experience.

Milk Chocolate Curls (Optional): Used for garnish, adding visual appeal and an extra touch of chocolate flavor.

How to Store Chocolate Cream Pie

Refrigerator 

Refrigerate any remaining pie immediately after serving to maintain its quality. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil. Be careful not to let the covering touch the surface of the pie, as this can cause the topping to stick and become messy. Alternatively, you can use a pie container with a lid. The pie is best consumed within 2-3 days. After this time, the crust may become soggy, and the whipped cream topping may start to deflate or weep.

Freezer

Freezing is not recommended for Chocolate Cream Pie, as it can significantly alter the texture of the filling and crust. The whipped cream may separate, and the crust can become soggy upon thawing.
