Treat for Mel and Carl

Mel and Carl were nice enough to watch our kids so I made them a little treat.

Chocolate Mallow Pie Base: 1 stick of butter, 1 1/2 oz sugar, Graham Crackers.

To make base: Crush about 1 1/2 packs of the crakers into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan and then add the crackers until it feels like it will hold together and is not too runny. Put into pan and let cool.

Filling: 4 oz dark chocolate, 15 marshmallows, 2 tbs of water, 1 egg seperated, 1/2 pint double cream.

To make Filling: Put Choc and Marshmallows into a bowl. Microwave until melted, then mix thoroughly and let cool slightly. Stir the egg yolk into the chocolate mixture and leave to go cold. Whisk the cream until it is stiff. Whisk the egg whites until it creates stiff peaks, then add the cream and then the egg whites to the chocolate mixture. Turn into the base and then let cool inthe fridge. I had left over crackers so I crumbled them over the top for fun.
