Ingredients
1 1/2cupschocolate chips(semi-sweet or a mix of semi-sweet and dark)
2 1/2cupsmini marshmallows
1/3cupmilk
1shot Baileys liqueur
1pintwhipping cream(use organic if you can)
1cupHeath bar bits(or chopped Heath Bars)
1 9-inchchocolate cookie crust
Instructions
Combine marshmallows, chocolate and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on 50% power for about a minute and a half - have your children watch the marshmallows expand exponentially! Stir. Heat for another minute on 50% power. Stir. Add about a shot of Baileys (or your favorite liqueur). Stir. The chocolate will be shiny and smooth. Set it aside and let it cool.
In a stand mixer, mix the whipping cream on med-high to high until it looks like delicious whipped cream. Organic whipping cream will really taste better!
Take about 1/2 to 2/3 of the whipped cream and fold it into the cooled chocolate. By folding, I mean to plop some whipped cream into the chocolate and then use a spatula to incorporate the two together - do not use a spoon and stir it or the whipped cream will deflate.
Spoon the chocolate cream mixture into a 9-inch cookie pie crust.
Fold about 1/2 cup of the Heath Bar Bits into the remaining whipped cream. Spoon evenly over the chocolate. Sprinkle the remaining Heath Bar Bits over the top of the pie.
Cover and freeze for at least a few hours. This is a great pie to make a few days ahead to save yourself some last minute hassle. Enjoy!!
