- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Gooey Chocolate Chip Pie
Follow these steps to create this deliciously gooey chocolate chip pie:
- Prepare the Oven and Pie Plate:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter, then dust with flour, or use a flour and oil baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the pie more cake-like rather than chewy.
- Add the Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows:
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows (reserve a few marshmallows for topping, if desired).
- Press and Bake:
- Press the dough mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate.
- For a gooey center, bake for 20-25 minutes. For a firmer texture, bake a bit longer, up to 30+ minutes. The pie should be golden brown on the edges but slightly soft in the center for a gooey finish.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before cutting into wedges for serving. This helps the pie set for cleaner slices.
Pro Tip: For a more beautiful presentation, press a few mini marshmallows into the top before baking. They’ll toast slightly, adding a lovely finish.
Helpful Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature butter and eggs ensures smoother mixing and a more consistent texture.
- Avoid Overmixing: Mixing gently helps keep the pie chewy rather than cakey.
Serving Suggestions
This Gooey Chocolate Chip Pie is delicious on its own, but you can make it even better with:
- A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an extra indulgent treat
- A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for added richness
- A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for a fancy touch
