My review of a delicious, creamy, fluffy, marshmallow filling inside a graham cracker pie crust topped with adorable Peeps and rainbow sprinkles.
This recipe popped into my inbox the other day, and it was settled – this is what I was going to make for myself as my Birthday dessert – I always make my own cake/dessert.
I searched at two of my local Walmarts and my local Publix for the Peeps Marshmallow coffee creamer used in the filling, but I could not find it, so I ended up using French Vanilla which still turned out marvelous. I will still be on the look out for the marshmallow creamer though because I so want to try it! And maybe I will make another pie too, hehe.
Super easy, DELICIOUS pie – highly recommended recipe!
Makes:
9 – 10″ Pie to Feed 8 – 10
Time Spent:
About 5.5 Hours – 1.5 To Prep, 4 Hours (or Overnight) to Settle
Ingredients I Used:
- 10″ Keebler Ready Made Graham Cracker Crust
- 7 oz of Nestle Tollhouse White Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/3 Cup of Heavy Cream
- 2 Tbsp of Butter
- 30 Large Marshmallows (nearly a whole 10 oz pack)
- 1/2 Cup of International Delights French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
- 1/4 Tsp of Salt
- Whipped Cream – I used the kind in the can (see notes below)
- Rainbow Sprinkles
- One pack of Yellow Peeps
- Peeps S’more Cream Pie Recipe from A BaJillian Recipes
I Also Used:
- Small Saucepan – for Heavy Cream
- Larger Saucepan – for Marshmallows
- Medium Bowl – for Ganache
- Medium Bowl – for Marshmallows
- Large Bowl – for Filling
- Several spatulas
- Measuring Cup and Spoons
- *Plastic Wrap – see notes
Ingredient Notes:
CRUST: Original recipe explains how to make the crust from scratch. I cheated, and bought a ready made pie crust.
CREAMER: Original recipe uses Peeps Marshmallow flavor, but since I couldn’t find it, I used the French Vanilla. You can change it up to any flavor!
WHIPPED CREAM: I used the whipped cream in a can, and even though I did the embellishing about an hour before enjoying, the whipped topping had melted, so… I am not sure what brand/kind is a better option, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying it.
PLASTIC WRAP: Original recipes requires plastic wrap for the ganache – I missed this step! Ganache did not turn out as smooth as it could have, and I think it was because of this step. Explained more in recipe notes below.
Recipe Notes:
This was how my ganache turned out – not as smooth as I would have liked. I missed the step of covering in plastic wrap, letting sit for a few minutes, and then mixing. Instead, I started mixing right away. I got it as smooth as I could, and still turned out well, but a little bumpy in some places.
Into the fridge overnight…
The next day, about an hour before enjoying, I applied the whipped topping around the edge to create a place for the Peeps to sit.
And one in the center for the last Peep of the package.
Sprinkles!
I cut the first piece. Oh boy! This pie was incredibly fluffy and delicious!
