A Domestic Diva is always ready to play host and this decadent S’mores Pie is the perfect bite of nostalgia for summer parties without the campfire!
S’mores Pie
You will need a 9-inch pie pan for this recipe. Note: Do not use Pyrex, glass, or ceramic pie pans under the broiler!
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 9 sheets cinnamon graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Filling
- 11⁄2 cups heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 bag miniature marshmallows, divided
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter.
- Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
- With the food processor running, pour in the butter.
- Press into the pie pan with your fingers.
- Bake 8–12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool briefly.
- Scatter the miniature marshmallows on the cooked and cooled graham cracker crust in a single layer.
- Pour the cream and salt into a heavy pot and heat over medium. (It does not need to boil.)
- When it warms, pour the chocolate chips in and stir continuously until it’s smooth and all bits of chocolate have dissolved.
- Add the butter and vanilla and stir until the butter is dissolved. It should be very hot. Pour over the marshmallows.
- With the back of a spoon, push down any marshmallows that are not covered with chocolate. They will float to the top, which is fine.
- Cool the pie completely and refrigerate.
- When cold, add enough miniature marshmallows to cover the top. They’re cutest if they all lie in the same position.
- Place under the broiler just long enough for them to brown lightly, 45 seconds to 1 minute.
