Using a piping bag or injector, inject the marshmallow mixture directly into the cake base in several spots. - Fill the Pie

Chef’s Tip 🇺🇸
For maximum indulgence, microwave individual slices for 10–15 seconds before serving. The marshmallow turns gooey, and the chocolate and caramel become gloriously molten.
