Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
  • Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and bake for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the marshmallows are lightly browned.
  • Let the pie cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
  • Before serving, sprinkle chopped pecans on top if desired.

Notes

  • Nut-Free Option: Omit the pecans or replace them with other nuts like walnuts or almonds.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free graham crackers or a pre-made gluten-free pie crust.
  • Marshmallow Fluff Alternative: Replace mini marshmallows with marshmallow fluff for a smoother topping.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: If desired, reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the filling, but it’s best served chilled.
