Gooey Pie(This Pie Will Delight A Child.)
A rich, gooey chocolate marshmallow pie with a graham cracker crust, perfect for kids and chocolate lovers seeking a sweet, indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a double boiler, heat the milk and stir in the Hershey bars and marshmallows until melted.
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and top with whipped cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother filling, ensure the milk is hot but not boiling before adding the Hershey bars and marshmallows. If you want a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of regular Hershey bars. You can also substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo crust for a different taste. If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the number of marshmallows slightly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the gooey pie chilled, topped generously with whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside a slice of Mrs. Virginia Little's Millionaire Pie to create a delightful dessert platter. Fresh berries can also add a nice tart contrast to the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just enough to soften the marshmallow filling without melting it completely. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat or slightly warmed for a gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?
Yes, you can definitely use mini marshmallows instead of large ones. They will melt just as well, and the smaller size may blend into the filling more seamlessly, creating a uniform texture. Just keep the quantity the same for the best results.
What can I use instead of whipped cream?
If you prefer a lighter option, you can use whipped coconut cream or a dairy-free whipped topping. For a healthier alternative, consider a dollop of Greek yogurt, which will add a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the pie.
How can I prevent the pie from being too sweet?
To balance the sweetness, you can reduce the number of marshmallows or use bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Additionally, incorporating a pinch of salt into the chocolate mixture can enhance the flavors and cut through the sweetness.
