    • CRUST

    • 300g chocolate cookies
    • 100g salted butter, melted
    • FILLING

    • 250g white marshmallows
    • 125ml (½ cup) full-cream milk
    • 200g 70% dark chocolate, finely chopped
    • 360ml fresh cream, whipped to stiff peaks
    • 100g smooth peanut butter
    • TOPPING

    • 300g pink marshmallows
    • 15ml (1 tbsp) water
    • handful mini marshmallows

    Instructions

    1

    Lightly grease a 25cm fluted pie dish. Set aside until needed.

    2

    For the crust, place the cookies and butter in a food processor and blitz until fine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie dish and press into the base and up the sides. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

    3

    For the filling, place the white marshmallows and milk in a large microwave-safe (not glass) bowl. Microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until the marshmallows have melted. Add the chopped dark chocolate and microwave in 15-second bursts until melted. Stir until combined and smooth. Fold in the whipped cream. Set aside.

    4

    Spread the peanut butter over the base of the pie crust. Pour the filling over the layer of peanut butter. Refrigerate until set, about 6 hours.

    5

    For the topping, place the pink marshmallows and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, stirring occasionally, until melted. Pile on top of the filling, using a spatula to spread the mixture evenly. Top with the mini marshmallows.

    6

    Using a blowtorch, toast the topping and mini marshmallows until golden brown and slightly charred in some places. Serve immediately.
