Ingredients:
- ¾ cup butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (reserve some for garnish, if desired)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter, then dust with flour or use a flour and oil baking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar using a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press the dough into the prepared pie plate, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes for a gooey center, or longer for a firmer texture, up to 30+ minutes.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before slicing into wedges to serve.
Expert Tips:
- Allow the butter and eggs to come to room temperature before mixing for easier incorporation.
- Mix the dough gently to avoid overworking the gluten, which can result in a cake-like texture instead of a chewy one.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for additional texture and flavor.
- For an appealing presentation, press additional mini marshmallows into the top of the pie before baking.
FAQs:
Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter? A: While butter contributes to the rich flavor and texture of the pie, you can substitute margarine if needed. However, keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary slightly.
Q: Can I freeze leftover pie slices? A: Yes, you can freeze individual slices of the pie for up to 1-2 months. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
