Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix in the melted white chocolate, marshmallows, milk, nuts, and maraschino cherries until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a baked pie shell.
- Chill the pie until set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, melt the white chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning. If you want a lighter pie, consider substituting half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt. You can also experiment by adding a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor. For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with crushed graham crackers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie with a dollop of additional whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of nuts for added texture. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a delightful dessert for gatherings. For a festive touch, consider garnishing with extra maraschino cherries or fresh berries. This pie complements light fruit salads or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep the pie from becoming soggy, it's best to cover it with plastic wrap without touching the surface. This pie is best served chilled, so there’s no need to reheat; enjoy it straight from the fridge.
