- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips or 2 oz chopped chocolate
- 1 pinch salt

Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar for sweetening whipped cream topping

Instructions
- In a double boiler, combine the marshmallows, milk, cocoa, chocolate chips and salt. Stir often until melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can do this in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Put the marshmallows and milk in a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat until marshmallows are melted. Add cocoa powder, chocolate and salt to hot melted marshmallows and stir until smooth. Let cool.

- Pour mixture in the pie shell and chill for 6 hours or more.
- Before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup of cream and sweeten with the powdered sugar (start with 3 T., but add more to taste if desired) and vanilla. Spread over pie. Garnish with extra cocoa powder.
