So hot and humid here in New Hampshire! This week's ingredient for the Cook's Corner Challenge is marshmallows. I'd bought some for S'mores, but no one wants to sit by the fire. I went looking through my marked recipes for something to try and came across this Chocolate Mousse Pie.
The full package of Hershey Bars I'd purchased had somehow dwindled to 3 bars. I broke them into pieces and put them on the kitchen scale. I added enough Nestle Semi Sweet chips to make 7oz. I cut the large marshmallows into pieces so they'd melt quicker. I also used heavy cream instead of whipping cream, and I put my mixing bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer early in the day so that it would whip up quickly.
This came together quickly, set up beautifully and is a light, delicious chocolately dessert. I'd definitely make it again, changing up the kind of candy. Thank you to Lois M for sharing the recipe!
