Description

Indulge in this delightful Possum Pie, a sweet and gooey dessert featuring a rich filling of pecans, mini marshmallows, and optional chocolate chips, all nestled in a buttery pie crust. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-baked pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Add the corn syrup to the sugar mixture and stir until the sugars are fully dissolved.
  3. Mix in the melted butter until well incorporated.
  4. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, then add them one at a time to the mixture, whisking well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  6. Fold in the chopped pecans and mini marshmallows. Optionally, add chocolate chips.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. If making a homemade crust, combine flour, salt, and cold butter in a bowl. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Roll out and fit into a 9-inch pie pan.
  10. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
  11. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.
  12. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  13. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
  14. Slice and serve with whipped cream if desired.
