Marshmallow Mermaid Pie

Dr. Pomatter: Did you make the marshmallow pie that you gave me?

Jenna: Yes I did. Mermaid Marshmallow. I invented it with my mama when I was 9 years old, in my mermaid phase.
​
Dr. Pomatter: That was probably the best pie that I've tasted in my entire life. No seriously. It was BIBLICALLY good. That's how good it was. That pie would win contests, and ribbons... and things... It only taste a taste!


Oops. So in the Musical this pie is called Mermaid Marshmallow, but the in the movie it's Marshmallow Mermaid. Oh well, still a delicious marshmallow pie either way right? I've been waiting to bake this one. Because I knew it had to taste and look so good. This is THE pie that people remember from the movie, and is probably the most recreated recipe from Waitress. There is a popular recipe for this pie online. It involves a graham cracker crust, coconut mixed into the crust, and chocolate bits in the whipped cream. I'm sure that version is delicious, but I wanted to create a pie that looked a little cleaner, and used marshmallow pudding as the main ingredient. This pie is sweet, cute, and delicious! 

Here it is! The BIBLICALLY good pie that made Dr. Pomatter fall for Jenna at first taste: "Marshmallow Mermaid Pie: Truly flaky crust, filled with a pillow of gorgeous marshmallow puddin', and a layer of freshly whipped coconut cream. Topped with pink and green mini marshmallows and sweetened shredded coconut."

Serve, slice, and enjoy! And don't give this to your gynecologist. As he might fall in love with you upon first bite. After all, it only takes a taste.

Recipe for Marshmallow Mermaid Pie ("AKA Mermaid Marshmallow")


​Ingredients:
-1 truly flaky crust (single)
-2 egg whites at room temperature
-1 TSPN gelatin powder (1/2 packet Knox unflavored)
-1/4 cup water
-4-5 drops of green food coloring
-1/2 cup granulated sugar + 1 TBSPN
-1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
-1 TSPN coconut extract
-FUNmallows (small colored marshmallows-can color your own!)
-shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

Directions:
  1. Assemble your truly flaky crust into a pie shell, crimp edges
  2. Cover bottom and sides of crust with parchment or foil, add pie weights or dry kidney beans, and blind bake for 30-40 mins at 400F until edges are golden brown and crust is fully baked through. 
  3. Soak1 TSPN gelatin powder in 1/4 cup water for 10 mins, then dissolve until mixture is clear, over a double boiler. Let cool and set aside.
  4. To make marshmallow pudding: In a stand mixer (MUST  be a stand mixer-hand mixer does not whip fast enough), start to whip egg whites on a low speed, and slowly increase speed to high. When stiff peaks form, add granulated sugar, 1 TBSPN at a time until sugar is incorporated (at med-high speed). On high speed, slowly pour in warm gelatin liquid mixture. Then add green food coloring until you get your desired shade of mermaid green! Set aside.
  5. To make coconut whipped cream: Whip 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 TSPN coconut extract until it forms into whipped cream. Set aside.
  6. Once crust is cool, spread marshmallow pudding into crust, then put pie in fridge for 20 mins to allow pudding to set in pie shell.
  7. Remove from fridge and spread whipped cream on top. Decorate with mini Funmallows (I picked out the green and red ones ;), and shredded coconut. Let sit in fridge for 1 more hour before slicing!
  8. SUGAR. BUTTER. FLOUR.

I see jet puff marshmallow fluff in the photos, but it's not listed in the ingredient list or in the instructions. Is it not in the pie?

I would think maybe somewhere in step 4. Otherwise it's not going to be a marshmallow pudding. The way she has it, it's just egg whites, sugar, and gelatin. I think she left it out ouf the recipe. Kinda crazy seeing as that's the main ingredient/flavor profile!

I have never heard of a Marshmallow Mermaid Pie before, but it sure sounds and looks delicious! I cannot wait to try out this recipe because I have a friend who is in love with mermaids and marshmallows so this is the perfect dessert for her! Whenever I hear the word marshmallows, I would always remember the time my friends and I played the chubby bunny challenge wherein you have to stuff as many marshmallows as you can in your mouth and say the words "Chubby Bunny". The person who cannot say it anymore loses!

She said she didn't use the jar of marshmallow. She used sugar, egg whites and gelatin. That is how you make marshmallow(s).

Marshmallows are made of egg whites, sugar and gelatin. So this recipe is a lovely homemade marshmallow without the need for some commercial junk. She also states that she did NOT use the jar of the marshmallow fluff stuff.

Marshmallows are just sugar, e.g. whites and gelatin...In the intro to the recipe she states that she didn't use the jet puff fluff

There is no need for it. She states in the intro she didn't use it. Marshmallows are made with sugar, egg whites and gelatin...

Wow Jerome, way to show ur superiority by name calling. We are not in the 2nd grade anymore
Grow up and act ur age not ur shoe size. A little kindness goes a long way. And just because u think something doesn't mean u always need to say it! Sometimes less is more!

No — The recipe makes MARSHMALLOW! She has chosen to decorate her pie on the top with certain colors of miniature marshmallows! You don’t add marshmallows because sugar
egg whites & gelatin MAKE MARSHMALLOW, and that’s what she’s calling “Marshmallow pudding”! A word of warning: spread marshmallow in pie shell IMMEDIATELY after you’ve finished whipping it or it will be a solid lump! Don’t wait until you make whipped cream to try to put marshmallow in pie shell or you’re going to have a one-pound solid marshmallow!😁🙏🏼💕

Windering if the extra 1 TBSP of sugar is to be put into the whipped cream topping?

I think so. Made this today as written but the whipped cream desperately needed a touch of sweetness so I used a little powdered sugar.

This looks so tasty! The one in the book is less sweet since it has the heavy whipping cream and cottage cheese base. The fruit provides some sweetness, but I feel lacks the marshmallow aspect of its name. Definitely tryjng this one out!
