FOUR INGREDIENT PIE CRUST



Four Ingredient Pie Crust image

One of the simplest and flakiest pie crust ever. My mom taught me how to make this when I was little and people love it. When I got older I found out that wax paper dusted with flour makes it easy to transfer. Most people work WAY too much flour into their crust. The key is just enough that its not super tacky.

Time 6h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

14 ounces milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy cream
One 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust
15 marshmallows

Steps:

  • Combine the chocolate chips and cream in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir until completely smooth (the chocolate may appear separated at first, but just keep stirring). Pour into the prepared pie crust, loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Use kitchen shears to cut each marshmallow in half, on a bias, from one corner to the opposite corner. Arrange the marshmallow halves, cut-side down, on top of the chilled pie. Broil until golden, watching closely and rotating the pan as needed, about 1 minute. Let the pie cool completely, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and return to the fridge until the ganache sets again, 1 to 2 hours.
