An easy but decadent pie. We made ours for Pi Day (3/14) this year and it was a huge hit! Great for a a fun homemade dessert at home or to take to a get together or even to a dinner party.
Recipe:
I adapted my recipe from Gimme Some Oven's recipe
ingredients
- 2/3 c. heavy cream
- 2/3 c. milk
- 8 oz. semisweet chocolate, chips or chopped
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, whisked
- pinch of salt
- graham cracker pie crust (store bought or premade)
- large marshmallows
- Preheat oven at 325*F
- Whisk cream and milk together in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chocolate and stir until chocolate has melted and is smooth. Add in vanilla and salt. Remove from heat.
- Slowly add in the whisked eggs and continue whisking until smooth.
- Pour chocolate filling into a graham cracker crust. Bake for 30-40 mins or until the filling is set and jiggly.
- Remove pie from oven. Add marshmallows on top of the pie until the surface is covered. Ours was in the shape of a pi symbol.
- Set oven to lowest broil setting. Then place in the center rack and lightly toast the marshmallows until they are just golden brown. Keep careful watch so they dont burn.
- Serve warm or chill for 2-3 hours.
Adjustments:
I used a store bought graham cracker pie crust because that it what we had. Gimme Some Oven's recipe includes instructions for making your own crust if you wanted to do that. I also decreased the amount of milk and cream from the original recipe. We live at a higher elevation and fillings often rise quickly and have a higher potential for overflowing. Even with the reduction of wet ingredients we had a little overflow. Lastly, the original recipe listed a 20 min bake time. It took us 40mins and was still a little jiggly.
Results and Thoughts:
We really liked this pie. Outside of the lengthy cook time, it was a really easy bake with simple ingredients. It also is really easy to adapt for different chocolates based on our liking.
