t’s finally summer! I have finished my second year of school, and I am so thrilled to have more time for everything…especially my craft journey. I promise to post much more this summer than I have been – there will be a lot going on. Aside from the incredible pie (preview: it’s called Chocolate Marshmallow Mousse) I made yesterday, I have plenty of crafty ideas to try this summer. Also…I’m finally getting a sewing machine! After I tell you all about this pie, I’m going to let you in on what will be going on.
Here we go:
A few days ago I was watching an adorable little movie. In the movie someone spoke words that literally stopped me in my tracks…Marshmallow Pie. I know. Naturally, I stopped working on the paper that was due and immediately started searching for Marshmallow Pie recipes. After a few that didn’t quite speak to me I found this. As soon as I moved home for the summer I made it my mission to concoct this masterpiece. After my second day of work I headed straight for the grocery store to stock up on ingredients. As per usual, I got to the grocery store around 5 o’clock on a Friday afternoon…in the rain. Allow me to clarify; by “rain” I of course mean a torrential downpour, wind, and the tornado sirens.
I really wanted this pie.
I swam back to my car and drove home.
Although the recipe is obviously divine on it’s own, I tweaked it just a smidge. After I let the mixture cool for the first time, I put it over low heat so that my marshmallows would melt…and then…I added a generous dollop of marshmallow cream!
What a sight!
p.s. I will not judge you if you a) cannot wait until it sets up to eat it or b) lick the mixing bowl.
Now for my to-dos:
1. Get my sewing machine!
2. Pillowcase shorts for my niece.
3. Probably a ton of “appliqued” shirts for my niece.
4. HAIRBOWS to match every outfit for my niece at the beach.
* Noticing a theme?
5. More work on my “quilt".”
6. Doily lantern…for my niece.
7. Book pages wreath…for my niece.
* I’m sure there’s more…maybe even for me.
I promise to post more.
I can’t wait!
