Ingredients

3 cups finely crushed cream-filled sandwich cookies (about 30 cookies)
1/2 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
5 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup milk
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, grated
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
TOPPING:
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Directions

For crust, combine crushed cookies and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Chill until firm. For filling, combine the marshmallows, milk and salt in a heavy saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until marshmallows are melted. Refrigerate until cool, about 1-1/2 hours.
In a bowl, gently fold vanilla, pecans and grated chocolate into whipped cream. Fold into chilled marshmallow cream. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with coconut. Fold confectioners' sugar into whipped cream; spread over coconut. Garnish with chocolate curls or grated chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
