CHOCOLATE MALLOW PIE

I've been in a dessert kind of mood, which is pretty rare for me. Normally I'd prefer salty over sweet any day, but as of late, it's been the other way around. I can't seem to shut my sweet tooth up with yogurt pretzels or apple and peanut butter. So I began my quest for something sweet, something chocolate and something low fat.

Now if your husband is anything like my boy, he just about balked at the idea of a low fat dessert. Little does he know, we're making it anyway ;)

  • 1 9 inch pie shell, baked and cooled( We got a chocolate crust)
  • 20 marshmallows, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup  semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 ripe bananas ( We only needed two)
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen  whipped cream; thawed ( We used cool whip lite)
  1. Place marshmallows and milk in a heavy sauce pan, cook over low heat until marshmallows melt.
  2. Stir in chocolate until melted, remove from heat and cool.
  3. Peel and slice bananas 1/4 inch thick, arrange over the baked crust.
  4. Fold whipped topping into the cooled chocolate mixture. ( We added some mini marshmallows into the mix as well)
  5. Spread evenly over bananas and chill 2 hours

Normally, I'm the same way--salty/savory is MUCH more enticing than sweet. But some days, you just have to have chocolate!
