Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Base
- In the top of a double boiler, combine the 25 large marshmallows, 6 Hershey bars, and 1/2 cup milk. Heat gently, stirring frequently, until completely melted, smooth, and combined.
Step 2: Cool Completely
- Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool completely to room temperature until it reaches a lukewarm, set consistency.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
- In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the 1/2 pint (1 cup) heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form and hold their shape.
Step 4: Fold and Assemble
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate-marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream until no white streaks remain and the texture is uniform.
Step 5: Fill and Chill
- Pour the filling into the prepared chocolate or graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts or grated Hershey bar, if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm and set, before slicing and serving.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Store sealed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure the chocolate mixture is fully cooled before assembly to prevent melting the whipped cream.
