S'mores Pie |
We have eaten some memorable pies over the years:
This recipe has made the rounds: Gimme Some Oven who adapted
it from Pastry
Affair who adapted it from How Sweet It Is who adapted
the chocolate filling recipe from Tyler
Florence. Next time, I’m going to
try milk chocolate morsels vs semi-sweet – just for giggles (and more pie!).
Ingredients:
- Graham cracker pie crust (or make your own with 2 c graham cracker crumbs + 1 stick of butter – baked for 8-10 minutes in a 9-inch pie pan)
- 3/4 C heavy cream
- 3/4 C milk
- 10 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 20-30 large marshmallows
Preheat oven to 325.
For the pie filling:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cream and milk. Warm
over medium-low heat. Add in chocolate and stir until chocolate has completely
melted and is smooth. Mix in a little of the warmed milk to the whisked eggs to
bring up their temperature. Slowly add
in vanilla and whisked eggs to the milk + chocolate and whisk until smooth.
Pour chocolate filling into (store bought or baked) pie
crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes (mine took more like 25-30 minutes), or until
chocolate filling is set and does not jiggle when pie is lightly shaken. Remove
from oven.
Cut marshmallows in half. Place halves in concentric circles
over the top of the pie until covered.
Lower oven rack to the middle position, and set oven to the
lowest broil setting. Place pie on the rack and lightly toast the marshmallows. They will brown very quickly.
Let the pie cool a bit then chill it in the refrigerator to
set for 2-3 hours.
When serving the pie, spray your knife with Pam so it doesn’t
stick to the marshmallow topping as you cut the pie into individual slices. Consider warming each slice in the microwave
for 10-15 seconds. Drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.

Oh, Mrs Mann. I loves me some pie. And pi. Last year, at 9:26 (twice in one day!) was the bomb, because, as I know you know, pi = 3.1415926. You almost got it all in there in your commentary.
And, of course, pi aren't square. Pie are round. Hee hee. Math humor.
you lost me.... :)
This looks AMAZING! I just showed Camilla and I think we will be attempting to make this like today! She is all about marshmallows! I hope mine tastes as good as yours looks. YUM!
