I've been making this Nestle Toll House pie for almost two decades now. It started as a treat for my sister's birthday and after all this time, I've still not managed to get pictures through the bake up to the finished product in one shot. I also change up the methods and baking vessels depending on availability and other things.
Sometimes I use a deep dish pie crust that comes already in the metal tin. Sometimes I use a glass or metal pie plate and the premade rolled crusts from the store. I always leave out the nuts due to allergies and instead I crush up a cup of Rice Krispies cereal and add that with the chocolate chips.
I like to use silicone pie edge shields but you can do foil crimped around the edge. You just don't want it touching the top of the cookie part because it will stick and then peel the beautiful browned top layer off when you remove it.
After I get the shield on I always sprinkle the top with some more chocolate chips and then press them down slightly.
It's delicious as is but we usually eat it warmed up with some vanilla bean ice cream. We love the original Nestle Toll House cookie recipe because it has New England roots and this pie is a great way to get those flavors without all the scooping and rotating cookie sheets in and out of the oven.
