Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Half and Half Can be swapped with heavy cream.
  • 2 tablespoons Instant Espresso Powder Dark roast coffee for a stronger kick.
  • 10 large Large Marshmallows Minis melt faster.
  • 1/2 cup Whiskey Irish cream liqueur is a delightful alternative.
  • 2 cups Whipped Topping Homemade enhances freshness.
For the Crust
  • 1 pre-made Graham Cracker Crust An Oreo crust can add a fun chocolatey flavor twist.
For Garnish
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream Optional garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Optional for visual appeal.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the half and half gently in a small saucepan until steaming but never boiling. Whisk in the instant espresso powder until fully dissolved.
  2. Add the large marshmallows to the warm coffee mixture and stir constantly until they are completely melted.
  3. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the whiskey.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Gently fold in the whipped topping in two additions.
  5. Pour the prepared filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the top. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Serving
  1. Top the chilled pie with a swirl of whipped cream and sift cocoa powder over the top just before serving.
  2. Slice with a hot, clean knife for neat pieces.

Notes

For make-ahead, freeze the pie up to one month and thaw in the fridge the day before serving. Avoid strong-smelling foods in the fridge to prevent flavor transfer.
