Chocolate Mint Mallow Pie (Paleo/Gluten Free) (Edit recipe)

This luscious pie of minty fresh chocolate is drool worthy and quite the centerpiece for any holiday dessert table. Use our PALEO PIE CRUST or our PIE CRUST MIX! The filing is luscious and very rich, so it won’t take much to satisfy that chocolate craving. This pie is also a time saver for the big day! Make it a couple days ahead and store in the refrigerator. On the big day all you have to do is dollop your favorite whipped cream up on top. If you feel fancy, add some chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder. Check the notes below for our favorite Paleo marshmallows!

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add marshmallows, almond milk and chocolate to a medium saucepan. Melt slowly over medium low heat, stirring constantly to fully incorporate. Do not let it burn.
Remove from the heat and pour into a heat resistant bowl to cool, typically about 30 minutes. When cooled, fold in the whipped cream and stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour into the prepared pie crust and place in the refrigerator to set up. To serve, top with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings (if using). Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
*If you like a very rich and thick pie, use 6 tablespoons of almond milk. If you would like a less dense pie, use the full 8 tablespoons (½ cup) of the almond milk.
