Light as a dream, this Toffee Marshmallow Pie has an easy no-bake filling that everyone will love!
I’m pretty sure I could make a new pie every week of the year and be a happy girl. That is how much I love pie. Sure, I love cookies and cake and brownies. But pie – that is what really gets me.
I’ve been on a bit of a pie run lately, too, which has me thinking about pie even more than usual. That, paired with the fact that Thanksgiving is next week, has me in pie mode.
Unfortunately, not all recipes always work out. I had what I thought was a really good one on the menu, and well, while it tasted ok, it definitely wasn’t one that I wanted to share with you all.
But this one? Definitely worth sharing.
I really like a wide variety of pies on Thanksgiving. Rich pumpkin, fruity meringues, and of course something chocolate. But it’s always nice to throw in something that is a little bit lighter, as well. (Ok, not lighter as in calories lighter… I don’t want to confuse you here!! 🙂 ) This pie is exactly that.
This couldn’t be much easier, either. It’s a no-bake filling, (the only time you’ll need the oven is to bake your pie crust), and it can be made well ahead of time. And it has everyone’s favorite – toffee!!
And now I’m wondering how many more pies I can make before Thanksgiving…

Fiona nicholson says
Hi I’m just new to this , I want to make ur toffee pie , where do I get toffee pieces do I just cut up toffees ? Or can I use the toffee I make for millionare short bread ?
Deborah says
You should be able to find toffee pieces in the baking section where you find the chocolate chips. But if your store doesn’t have them, you can chop up a toffee candy bar (like Skor or Heath).
Laura says
I made this for my work bake off…. wondering if it should be left in fridge until the contest or if it can be left out?
Deborah says
I would leave it in the refrigerator as long as possible. It should be fine left out for a little bit, but not hours.
Shula says
Hey, I absolutely love this recipe. I am planning to use chocolate chip instead of toffee. I am not too sure about the marshmallow size. Would it be possible for you to share a picture please. I would be really helpful. I don’t want to mess the measurements up.
Thank you
Deborah says
Hi Shula – this is the size of marshmallows you need – http://amzn.to/1QAIxe4
kathryn says
When you say large marshmallows, do you mean the size up from miniature or those really big ones for s’mores?
Deborah says
Just the regular large ones (size up from mini – not the huge roasting ones.) It makes it complicated with all of the different sizes that are out right now!!
Kathy says
I don’t want to use the toffee pieces. I was wondering what I can use instead.
Deborah says
I have only tried it with the toffee pieces, so I’m not sure what else would work. I’m sure anything that is small like the pieces – maybe mini chocolate chips?
Martina says
It’s soooo delicious. My family Love it!!! Thanks for recipe
Deborah says
I’m so glad that you loved it!!
Bella says
I think I might make one tonight, it looks really delicious 🙂 but I think I’m going to make some caramel sause insteed of use toffee pieces (dont have toffee at home) keep up the good work! / love from your swedish reader
Ash says
Doing a Beatles themed party next month, really pleased to have found a marshmallow pie recipe. Do you think it would work with marshmallow fluff?
Deborah says
I’m not sure if marshmallow fluff would work or not. I’m guessing you could maybe use it instead of melting the marshmallow, but I’m not sure since they have different textures. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
Lin says
OK I’ve died and gone to heaven. Insanely wonderful recipe! Most of all, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you used whipped cream and not cool whip. It’s on my “must make” list!
Sabrina - Cozy Cuisines says
I am not a marshmallow person at all, but I decided to give this a try for our potluck lunch at work and maybe Thanksgiving tomorrow. I made two last night. One is already gone and it’s barely 7:30am. My coworkers think I’m a cheffin genious! Thanks!
Deborah says
yay! I’m so glad they loved them!
Dina says
it looks delish!
Amy-Lyn says
Oh my! This looks like a true delight! 🙂 I have a thing for marshmallows….I will be making this, and possibly a version with a graham crust, and chocolate in/or drizzled on top. S’more style.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
That pie looks amazing. And I love marshmallows! Funny you referenced the PB Best of the Bakeoff book. I was just at the PB Bakeoff 2 weeks ago in Vegas (part of why I couldn’t meet that deadline). Beautiful pie & pinned!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Beautiful pie, Deborah! Love the sound of toffee and marshmallows together!
Tracey says
Just gorgeous, and I love the simplicity! You can’t beat a no-bake filling, especially around Thanksgiving when you’re already baking so many other recipes.
Joanne says
I’m so glad you had a success with this, as it looks amazing!! Those fluffy insides are pretty dreamy.
ThisBakerGirlBlogs says
Yum! That looks just incredible. It’s a good thing we’ve always got bags of marshmallow in our house!
Chels R. says
Wow-that looks amazing!!!
Emily says
This looks absolutely divine!
Ronda says
Super yum, and your right who doesn’t like toffee. I might have to make this as one of my thanksgiving desserts.
Norma | Allspice and Nutmeg says
I love pie too. I don’t mind if you make 10 more before Thanksgiving. 🙂

Tieghan says
Oh gosh! What an incredible pie! Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Colleen @ What's Baking in the Barbershop?! says
What a unique method! I’ve never made a marshmallow pie like this, but it sounds pretty simple! And I love that it’s “lighter,” at least in texture 😉 On Thanksgiving, nobody counts calories anyway 🙂
