Tips & Variations

  • Try adding crushed nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.
  • If you prefer a deeper chocolate flavor, swap the milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips.

Notes

  • Gluten Free Crumb Crust Substitute: Use Cheerios Oat Crunch Honey Oat flavor (dark gold box) or Barbara’s Puffins Cereal as a gluten free alternative. Blend 1-1/2 cups until fine, mix with 5 tablespoons melted butter, press into pie plate, bake 5 minutes at 350°F, and cool before using.
  • Gluten Free Flour Mix: Use a gluten free flour mix made from Bob’s Red Mill products in a one-to-one substitution. Detailed recipe available at PortlandiaPielady.com.
  • Microwave Marshmallow Creme: Heating marshmallow creme for a few seconds makes it easier to spread evenly.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days, as marshmallow fillings can soften over time.
