Ingredients
Scale
Before we begin, let’s round up the ingredients you’ll need. Each component is carefully chosen to enhance the overall flavor and texture of the pie.
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Feel free to play around with substitutions if you fancy. For instance, dark chocolate chips can add an extra depth of flavor, and a sprinkle of sea salt can elevate the sweetness of the pie.
Instructions
Creating this pie is a delightful process that engages all the senses. Here’s how to bring it to life in your own kitchen:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
- Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pecans, chocolate, and marshmallows in the pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You’ll know it’s ready when the filling jiggles slightly but is firm to the touch.
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This helps the filling to fully set and makes slicing easier.
A tip from my mum: to prevent the crust from browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield during the last 20 minutes of baking.
