  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled

Instructions

  • Start by whipping the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until you see soft peaks forming. This part’s key so don’t overdo it or you’ll get butter, darn it.
  • In a separate bowl, beat your softened cream cheese till it’s super smooth. No lumps, you want that silky texture.
  • Pour in the powdered sugar, green crème de menthe, green crème de cacao, and vanilla extract. Mix it all real good until you get a nice green mixture.
  • Gently fold your whipped cream into that cream cheese mix. It’s gotta be smooth, like a cloud, so don’t rush or smash it down.
  • Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows so they keep their shape but still get a little flavor.
  • Pour this dreamy green filling into your chocolate pie crust. Spread it out evenly with a spatula so every bite’s perfect.
  • Pop the pie in your fridge and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This is where all the flavors get to know each other.
  • Right before serving, sprinkle the chocolate shavings all over. They add a little texture and look real fancy without the fuss.

Notes
