Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M candies, plus extra for topping
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
Fats and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring an even temperature for consistent baking.
- Generously coat a 9-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the pie crust into the prepared pan, gently pressing it against the sides and trimming excess edges for a neat appearance.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugars, whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, thoroughly blending after each addition to create a uniform consistency.
- Stir in vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder to eliminate any lumps and create a light, airy dry mixture.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain a smooth texture without overmixing.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips and most of the M&Ms, reserving some for topping.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly to create a level surface.
- Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms across the top of the pie, creating an attractive and colorful decoration.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure proper setting and clean cuts.
Notes
- Adapt the crust by using gluten-free pie dough for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Control sweetness by reducing sugar quantity or using alternative sweeteners like stevia for diabetic-friendly options.
- Try different chocolate varieties like dark chocolate chips or white chocolate for unique flavor profiles.
- Prevent candy from burning by gently pressing M&Ms into the surface halfway through baking to maintain vibrant colors and prevent melting.
