Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly bubbling.
- Remove the butter and sugar mixture from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Slowly pour the warm butter-sugar mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Add vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Sprinkle milk chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
- Pour the egg and butter mixture over the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle toffee bits across the top of the pie filling.
- Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, top with fresh whipped cream and additional toffee bits for garnish.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the rich, decadent flavors of milk chocolate and toffee.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter-sugar mixture is warm but not hot when adding to eggs to prevent scrambling.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: Select premium milk chocolate chips for the richest flavor.
- Crust Matters: A pre-made crust works, but a homemade butter crust can elevate the entire dessert.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then chill to help the filling set perfectly.
- Whipped Cream Technique: For the most luxurious topping, whip your cream just before serving to maintain its light, airy texture.
- Make Ahead: This pie can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
- Garnish Generously: Don't skimp on the extra toffee bits and whipped cream for a stunning presentation.
