CHOCOLATE-MARSHMALLOW PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the crust: Pulse the graham crackers and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate, making a thicker rim around the edge. Bake until the top edge is firm and the bottom is dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool 5 minutes. Whisk in the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt until smooth. Whisk in the flour until combined.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Make the topping: Combine the heavy cream, marshmallow cream and confectioners' sugar in a food processor and pulse, scraping down the processor, until the mixture is thick. Spoon the topping onto the center of the pie. Top with shaved chocolate.

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• For the ganache: Put the chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the vanilla. Pour over the chocolate pieces and mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined.
• For the marshmallow whipped cream: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the marshmallow cream and butter until combined, about 30 seconds.
• In a mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk the cream in a separate mixer bowl until frothy. Lower the speed and gradually add the powdered sugar. When added, increase the speed and whisk until stiff peaks form. Add the marshmallow and butter mixture to the cream and whisk until smooth.
• For the pie: Pour the ganache over the pumpkin layer. Let set at room temperature for 40 minutes or flash-chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Pile the marshmallow whipped cream over the ganache in a high-domed mound--scale is everything. Insert seasonal chocolate lollipops in the marshmallow whipped cream.
