Chocolate Pie

I made this Chocolate Pie for my sister-in-law's birthday.  It is rich, but so delicious!  It requires you to make your own whipped cream...but don't be frightened away by that.  It was a lot easier than I expected it to be, and it ended up being very good!

Chocolate Pie

5 Hershey's chocolate bars
8 squares caramel
5 marshmellows
2 c heavy whipping cream
1 prepared chocolate cookie pie crust
In microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate, caramel, marshmellows, and 1/3 c whipping cream.  Microwave on high about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.  Allow chocolate mixture to cool.  In medium bowl, add 2/3 c whipping cream.  Place bowl inside a larger bowl filled with ice water.  With cold mixer whisks, beat cream on low 30 seconds.  Increase speed to medium once you see bubbles, beat 30 seconds.  Increase speed to high until cream is whipped and peaks begin to form.  Keep whipped cream cold until ready to use.  Once chocolate mixture is cool, fold in whipped cream.  Mix until smooth, pour into crust.  Refrigerate overnight.  Whip remaining 1 c cream for topping, add sugar to taste.
