Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Binding:
- 3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
Flavor Enhancers and Stabilizers:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (reserve some for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C) and ready a 9-inch pie plate with a light butter coating or non-stick baking spray.
- Utilize a hand mixer to blend butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture achieves a soft, airy consistency with a pale color.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients are completely integrated and smooth.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients – flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt – using low-speed mixing to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
- Gently fold in semisweet chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared pie plate, carefully pressing and spreading the dough to create an even layer that reaches all edges.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes if desiring a supremely gooey center, or extend to 30 minutes for a more set consistency.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, which helps the texture set and makes slicing into wedges easier.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and egg for smoother, more even mixing that guarantees a perfectly soft, decadent texture.
- Fold chocolate chips gently to prevent breaking and ensure even spread throughout the pie for consistent chocolatey bites.
- For a less sticky pie, freeze mini marshmallows briefly before adding to prevent excessive melting and maintain distinct pockets of sweetness.
- Replace regular flour with gluten-free flour blend and use dairy-free butter and chocolate chips to create a delicious allergen-friendly version that doesn’t compromise on taste.
