Iterative algorithm for optimizing pie

Step one: make pie
Step two: Decide how to make pie better
Step three: return to step one

This attempt:
half stick butter
1/3 c sugar
two cups mini marshmallows
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
one egg

Melt the butter in a double boiler, mix in sugar and corn starch as it melts. Once homogenized, melt in the marshmallows, stirring constantly. Once those are melted, remove from the heat. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Once it's mixed in, it should be starting to cool off, stir in the egg. Pour into six silicone muffin cups. Bake those, in a water bath, at 325 for 30 40 minutes.

Things I forgot: vanilla or Tuaca, greasing the muffin cups.

To do for next time: Don't bother taking the mixture off the heat. Beat the egg well into frothiness before adding it. Bake hotter, without the water bath.

EDIT: Also skip the sugar entirely?
