My favorite dessert from 1950's. My mother made this pie for special occasions using grated chocolate after marshmallow mixture cools and whipped cream is added. We used homemade graham cracker crust with melted butter and sugar. This dessert is elegant yet fairly easy to make, light and absolutely scrumptious!

I had to make a "test run" before I served this at a dinner party the other day. The kids {with a little help from us} ate one pie and the guests the other. Soooooo simple, creamy and light.

I made it and my family loved it! Very easy to make and delicious. I used chocolate chips with this recipe. It's great. I will be making this pie again soon. Thanks for sharing.

S'more Please! This was a fun dessert to make as well as to eat. The filling is so light it's like eating clouds. I used a good milk chocolate, whipping cream & a homemade graham cracker crust. I think my pie plate must be bigger than a store-bought cause I could have got away with using more marshmallows or more cream. I think next time I'll sweeten the whipped cream a little instead of salting, but other than that this recipe is delish! DH loved that this wasn't too sweet & that you could enjoy the marshmallow flavor without being overpowered by chocolate. Thanks for sharing, Ryguy!
