S'more pie

Like a campfire in your kitchen


Ahhh s'mores... Always love at first bite. And I love that I can taste that trio of chocolate, graham, and toasted mallow any time of year thanks to this s'more pie. As far as pie is concerned, this one is insanely easy. You can make it even easier by using a pre-made graham cracker crust, but I prefer to make my own.

S'MORE PIE

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
CRUST
1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 crackers)
6 TBS butter, melted (unsalted if you have it, otherwise salted)
2 TBS sugar

FILLING
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz. semisweet chocolate, choppped
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups mini marshmallows

WHAT YOU'LL DO: 
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Mix well and press evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes until firm, then set aside to cool.

2. To make the filling: Bring cream to a boil on the stove. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl and pour hot cream on top. Let stand a few minutes, then stir until smooth. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour into crust and bake until set, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Just before serving, preheat broiler to High. Spread marshmallows evenly over the top of the pie. Broil until toasted, about 20 to 30 seconds, keeping a watchful eye to prevent scorching.

As my brother mumbled through a mouthful of pie: "You can make this all the time." It might be cliché to say, but this really is a dessert that will have people clamoring for s'more!
