Ingredients

• TOPPING:
• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pastry shell
• 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
• 1 cup (6-ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line un-pricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, combine marshmallow creme, chocolate chips, butter and unsweetened chocolate; cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Cool. Fold in whipped cream; pour into crust.

For topping, in a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over filling. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
