Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crumb Crust

  • 12 graham cracker sheets, crushed ... or 2-1/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs
  • 7 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Pie Filling

  • 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 28 large marshmallows

Instructions

  • To make this S'mores Pie, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and start with the graham cracker crumb crust. Lightly butter a 9 inch pie pan.  In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar and salt.  Stir well until mixed and then press crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides of your pie pan and set aside.
  • Next, add your heavy cream to a small saucepan and bring to a low boil. Add the chocolate chips, brewed coffee and a pinch of salt to a bowl and then pour the heated heavy cream over your chips.  Let sit for 1 minute before whisking to combine and melt chocolate.  Once your chocolate is melted, whisk in the egg and then pour chocolate filling into your prepared pie pan.
  • The pie filling will only come up about half way up the pie crust.  To make sure your graham cracker crumb crust does not melt, cover the edge with tin foil before baking. Bake for 30-35 or until the chocolate pie is soft set and only jiggles slightly when shaken. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool.
  • When ready to serve, place the marshmallows on your pie and heat your oven broiler.  Set your oven on Broil, prop the oven door open a bit, move your oven rack to the second highest level and move your pie right under the broiler for 20-30 seconds or until your marshmallows are dark and toasty.  Remove from the oven and using a kitchen towel, lightly press down on your marshmallows to push them together, making a solid marshmallow layer. Serve immediately.

Notes

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING S'MORES PIE

  • Your broiler will brown your marshmallows very quickly and will catch them on fire if you are not watching them.  Don't walk away from your oven once you put your S'mores Pie under the broiler.
  • To serve your S'mores Pie, spray your knife or pie cutter with non-stick spray before slicing your pie. The marshmallows will not stick to your slicer.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, be sure to spray your foil or plastic wrap with non-stick spray before covering your pie for storage.
  • Depending on if you are a marshmallow lover, this next tip is either good or bad.. you are using full real marshmallows, not melting marshmallows down into a gelatin liquid substance so when you toast your marshmallows and they get all melty and come together, they form into almost like a little marshmallow blanket.  That means they are a solid layer of their own and they do not melt into the chocolate pie. So if you are not a marshmallow lover, you can simply move the marshmallow blanket over and give it to your friend who is and they will love you for the extra sweetness you have added to their pie and you do not have to fight through the marshmallow layer. This tip I give to anyone else like me that likes chocolate pie but not those ooey gooey marshmallows.
  • You can make your S'mores Pie graham cracker crumb crust toasted or not toasted. I have done both and I honestly did not see any difference with adding the step of toasting the crust. If you would like to toast your graham cracker crumb crust, simply make your pie crust then move it to a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let cool completely before constructing your pie.
