Ingredients
  1. 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
  2. 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
  3. 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  4. 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  5. 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  6. 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
  7. 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
TOPPING
  1. 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  2. 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  3. Chocolate curls, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  2. Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, combine marshmallow creme, chocolate chips, butter, unsweetened chocolate and coffee; cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Cool. Fold in whipped cream; pour into crust.
  3. For topping, in a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over filling. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
  4. How-To: For quick chocolate curls: Use a vegetable peeler to "peel" curls from a solid block of chocolate. To keep the strips intact, allow them to fall gently onto a plate or a single layer of waxed paper. If you get only shavings, your chocolate may be too hard, so warm it slightly.
