We came across this S’mores Pie recipe while doing research on French macarons, which were to die for, but that’s another post.

Who doesn’t love s’mores made over a campfire?? This is the same idea, only in a rich, creamy pie version.

By the way, the recipe makes one pie, however we doubled it (cause we’re piggy that way!), so don’t be confused when you see two pies in some of the pictures!

Okay, so let’s get started~

Preheat your oven to 350*.

To make the crust, mix crushed graham crackers and melted butter together in your pie dish. Mix until combined and press firmly into the pie plate while working the crumbs up the side of the dish.

Like this…

Now let’s get started on the good stuff-

Place both types of chocolate chips and butter in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers, pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and butter, and whisk until melted and combined.

Add whole eggs and egg yolk along with the vanilla. And mix until well combined.

Pour chocolate mixture into pie crust and bake 20-25 minutes until filling is set and toothpick comes out clean. I used a metal crust protector to keep the edge of the crust from getting too dark.

Place pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1-2 hours before starting the marshmallow topping.

To prepare the marshmallow topping place egg whites, corn syrup, salt, vanilla, and cream of tartar in a bowl, and whip on high until stiff peaks form.

Slowly add sugar and mix well.

Now you’re ready to add the topping to the pie, creating decorative peaks with a spatula as you go.

If you’re not serving the pie right away, it can be refrigerated until ready to serve.

The last step is toasting the marshmallow topping (“toasting” is the key word- not burning- be careful!). It took 1 minute in my oven to achieve the desired toasted effect, so watch it carefully. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Yum!! Dig in!

While I felt this s’mores pie was perfect as is, there are a few variations that you could make, such as: using a chocolate cookie crumb crust, or no gooey, gaggy marshmallow topping (as my friend Laura calls it), she’s wrong by the way, it was delicious! The chocolate filling had a good texture and the combination of the two types of chocolate made it really rich and a great go-to chocolate pie filling recipe.
