  • Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, heat milk and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, just until marshmallows are melted.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% will work well.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to blend together smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Beating them too much will make the filling tough.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the filling to set and firm up.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue topping in the oven. Place the pie on a baking sheet and broil it for 1-2 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.

Conclusion:

The Grasshopper Mint Chocolate Pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate, mint, and cream cheese is irresistible, and the graham cracker crust adds a nice crunchy texture. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
