Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the marshmallow mixture. If you don't have chocolate-flavor pie crust, a graham cracker crust works well too. You can also use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresher taste. If you're short on time, opt for pre-made chocolate pudding cups instead of making it from scratch.
