Full of flavor, decadent, creamy chocolate marshmallow pie, and best of all, so simple to make! How can a pie with only 5 ingredients look SO decadent and taste SO good?
Homemade pie just like grandma’s pie always brings back memories of childhood.
My grandmother was a great baker, and she had a serious sweet tooth. Easy Chocolate Marshmallow Pie I’m sharing here is one I know she’d be proud of. It’s decadent yet easy enough for novice bakers, and can even be made completely without an oven.
If you’re looking for a fuss-free way to incorporate chocolate into your Thanksgiving or Christmas, this is the pie for you.
Choose Your Pie Crust (Anything Goes!)
The great thing about this chocolate marshmallow pie is that you can use any crust you like, from a classic pastry crust to a chocolate crumb crust to a graham cracker cookie crust. I this recipe I opted for a pastry crust, a homemade one, but you can use a pre-made refrigerated one or a frozen one.
Then blind bake it: Line the crust with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the crust is dry and firm.
If you prefer a crumb crust, you can also go the homemade route or grab a store-bought shell from the baking aisle. There’s no need to bake crumb crusts before filling.

pie crust
marshmallows
chocolate
milk
heavy/whipping cream
Easiest Chocolate Pie Filling with Marshmallows
Marshmallows add sweetness, structure, and flavor to semi-sweet chocolate without making the filling too sweet. Mini marshmallows are the easiest to measure and melt, but you can use full-size marshmallows or even marshmallow creme if you have it. All you have to do is melt them with heavy cream, stir in the chocolate, then fold in whipped cream.
Tips for Success
- Allow chocolate to cool before folding in the whipped cream. (Warm chocolate will melt and deflate the lightened cream).
- Gently fold the chocolate mixture over the cream until no streaks of cream remain.
- If you prefer a crumb crust, you can also go the homemade route or grab a store-bought shell from the baking aisle. There’s no need to bake crumb crusts before filling.
- Don’t cut the bake time short, you want to make sure all the pie crust dough is baked through!
- You can use full-size marshmallows or even marshmallow creme if you have it.
- Immediately refrigerate any remaining pie after serving.

This pie recipe sounds delicious! I can’t wait to get the ingredients & give it a go. But 12 servings? Now this will be done rich pie❣️
I first made this recipe last weekend to take to the office for fellow staff birthdays celebration. It was a big hit especially considering that the entire recipe is egg-free as one of my co-workers is highly allergic to eggs. I used a frozen pre-made pie crust from the grocery store. I made extra whipped cream as the topping. This is such an easy recipe to follow and the results are magnificent for those of us chocolate lovers! I’m making it again today to take to a birthday and “pi” party tomorrow on “pi” day, March 14th. 😊
